Well I do believe from what I have read so far on Turtles. In the colder months as food is in limited supplies. They go to a state of hibernation of sorts. They sleep more and eat less. But if they live in a climate that food is aplenty then they are wake more.

Turtles and Tortoises have highly similar DNA, as tortoises are a subgroup of turtles.
ALL KINDS of reptiles are vertebrates, which means that they have a backbone. A turtle's backbone is connected to its shell.
Lions are generally most active at night when they do much of their hunting. They often sleep during the day.
tortoises don't like to be near pigeons (because they eat tortoises), they don't like to be picked up too many times a day and they don't like being teased.
They can eat, sleep, walk, poop, and pee.
Desert tortoises spend 95% of their life in an underground burrow and sleep there.
Desert Tortoises go to sleep in the evening, and wake up in the morning, around 7:30 or so. I don't know if this is the same for adult Desert Tortoises, but my Desert Tortoise does this sleeping routine, and it is 6 days old.
The desert tortoise sleeps usually in a burrow.
Russian Tortoises eat often at noon and morning. Don't FORGET that Russian tortoises eat fresh food and pelleted.
Yes tortoises need at least one hide in there enclosure so if it gets to hot they can hide somewhere to cool down or even sleep
Once per Year
when tortoises come out of hibernation, they do not eat any differently. since they have been in such a deep sleep, they may have to get used to it again, but the do not eat any differently.
Baby tortoises can sleep anywhere from 18 to 24 hours when they're young. Their need for sleep diminishes slightly as they get older.
Giant tortoises are often hunted for their shells.
tortoises are not endangered yet. they are watched very carefully though. because they do not reproduce often there is not many wild tortoises in the desert. ravens also have a huge impact on the disappearance of the tortoises. a raven will peck through the shell of the tortoise and eat what is inside the shell.
