I think they are similar to hamsters & mice. Apparently if the room is cold they can go into hibernation. I have 2 rats & my sitting room can get really cold. All one of them wants to do is lay under a blanket with me & go into a really deep sleep for hours. The other one just runs around like normal so I guess it just depends on the rat. You can try to trick them into thinking its summer but keeping the heating on. I've been putting a big towel over their cage to keep the heat in.

In the wild, yes but as a pet no. If your pet rat is showing signs of hibernation then it's to cold and you should give them some fabric, more shavings, or keep them away from windows

Can rats sleep standing up?

No, rats cannot sleep standing up. The only mammals that can sleep standing up are large herbivorous mammals, like horses. They sleep standing up because it is sometimes difficult for them to stand up for lying down. Some birds, like flamingoes, sleep standing on one foot.
