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.
What else can I help you with?

Gerbils sleep when ever they get tired. They are not nocturnal like some other small rodent animals.
What breeds of gerbils are nocturnal?
Most commonly kept pet gerbils, such as the Mongolian gerbil, are not strictly nocturnal but are more crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. However, wild gerbils, including species like the fat-tailed gerbil, exhibit nocturnal behavior to avoid daytime heat and predators. Generally, while pet gerbils may be active during the evening, their activity patterns can vary based on their environment and individual temperament.
Is it good for a gerbil to spend most of its time in the dark?
No, unlike hamsters, gerbils are not nocturnal.
Do gerbils need sunlight?
Yes, they can. Not as well as birds, but still well. In the wild, they do... things kinda like night patrols.

Yes. They are not nocturnal, which is good. You want your pet to be active during the daytime so you can play with it.

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.

Other gerbils.
Who invented gerbils?
Gerbils are an animal and can not be "invented".
Can gerbils get fixed?
Male gerbils can be neutered, but it is not recomended. Female gerbils should not be spayed. In general male gerbils should not be neutered unless there is a good reason for it.
Are there rodents smaller then gerbils?
Yes, mice are smaller than gerbils, but I think gerbils are the right size.
