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

Rats are generally nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day, and are awake at night.
Just like rats, all rats sleep during day. That is because all rats are nocturnal. Nocturnal means that they sleep at day and wake up at night. That basically means they sleep when we are active, and they steal food from use when we are sleeping. I hope you understand me!
we as humans sleep at night time. Almost all types of rats are active during the night. They are nocturnal. They will probably climb there cage or plage with a toy he/she has.
In the wild yes they are, But if you keep a pet rat then you can train them to sleep when you sleep. But yes they are naturally Nocturnal.
mice, rats, and the crew had to sleep on the deck
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.
Well those places were disgusting! What did you expect?

Bats are like flying rats. They sleep in the day upside down!
Silk beds only made in Egypt, and they contain a carot of gold within them!!
