Gerbils sleep when ever they get tired. They are not nocturnal like some other small rodent animals.
Gerbils have short periods of activity throughout day and night.
Gerbils are nappers (as in they take naps throughout day and night). You probably just aren't there when the gerbil is awake.
Tigers sleep all night, and part of the day.
Of course not! They sleep during the night just like you, and should not keep you up, unless you go to bed early. They know when you sleep, and they sleep whenever they see you sleeping. They also take naps when you are gone. Gerbils love to nap, and they do not usually take deep sleeps though. They sleep when you do, but wake a little earlier. My point: Gerbils sleep when you do. They are not nocturnal, but they do nap a bit. Some breeds of gerbils are actually nocturnal. And some are not. My gerbils come out in the morning but then go to sleep again until the evening.
Gerbils usually sleep at night and are awake at day, like humans. But some gerbils play at night, the person who answered before me and also my friend have the problem of their gerbils playing on their wheels at night but my friend now takes the wheel out of the cage just before they go to sleep and back in when they get up, so you can do that if you have a problem with it.
good sleep :)
Yes, they are not nocturnal either. They wake up & go to sleep many times a day, but they will be up at different times day to day, since that cycle is not aligned to 24 hours. You might think they're sleeping all day, when in reality you just happen to check on them at the times that they're sleeping.
For the most part, yes, they do. Gerbils, like other animals, have individual personalities, however. Some gerbils will not get along with other gerbils, regardless of gender.

gerbils are all born with tails but they have the ability to lose part of their tail. It will never grow back, and it will be harder for them to balance. They like their tails.
Baby gerbils can be sold about a week after the next litter comes, at around day 35.
The Spanish call it 'siesta'.
