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.

I like gerbils because they don't smell like hamsters, they aren't nocturnal and they are really cute.

Are girbils nocturnal?
You can call gerbil nocturnal but they are up in the day they are not up for a lot of the day but they are awake enough for you too play with them. during the night is when they are the most active so if you cannot sleep with noises you should probably take out their wheel for the night.

no gerbils are not originally from the UK but instead from the deserts of Asia. But you can still buy gerbils in the UK
