Yes, a Lined day gecko is active during the day, as hints the name.
Yes, there are diurnal (non-nocturnal) geckos. One is the day gecko, hence the name "day".
Most species of gecko are nocturnal, however, there are also many species of gecko that are diurnal.
Yes, geckos are nocturnal but you can still see them awake in the daytime. Example is a leopard gecko, rarely you would see them up in the day. Although most gecko species are nocturnal, doing their daily activities at night, some species of gecko are diurnal. This means that they are active during the day. These species of geckos are called Phelsuma (day geckos).
No you cannot, as the animals are genetically born this way.
The simple answer is it depends. If they are diurnal - they sleep at night, if they are nocturnal (eg. crested gecko) they will sleep through the day. It all depends on the species of Gecko.
An antonym to diurnal is nocturnal when diurnal is defined; of or belonging to or active during the day; "diurnal animals are active during the day"; "diurnal flowers are open during the day and closed at night" Another antonym to diurnal is aperiodic (vs. periodic) when diurnal is defined; having a daily cycle or occurring every day; "diurnal rotation of the heavens" ~gpack

Iguanas are diurnal, they are active during the day and sleep at night.
They can sleep anywhere, but perferably a dark spot, like under a dome. Also they are nocturnal, so leave your heat (day) light on for 5-6 hrs., and the gecko can sleep easier. Also if you handle them, you might be able to make them diurnal. I say this from experience.
The opposite term of Nocturnal is diurnal.
