No. Grizzlies are diurnal. This means they sleep at night and hunt during the day.

However it is not uncommon for them to be active during the night as well, especially on clear nights when the moon is out or when their bellies are telling them to be out scrounging for food during the night--late evening or early morning. So it can be said they may be nocturnal, though some argue otherwise.
