Eastern box turtles typically enter a state of brumation, a form of hibernation, during the colder months, which can last for several months, usually from late fall to early spring. During this period, they may sleep for extended periods, often burrowing into the ground or hiding under leaves. In warmer months, they are more active and may sleep for shorter intervals, usually at night or during the hottest parts of the day. Overall, the duration of sleep can vary based on environmental conditions and the individual turtle's health.
