Hamsters sleep for about 12 to 16 hours a day. Hamsters are nocturnal animals. They usually sleep during the day and are active at night. They can sleep for 12 to 14 hours a day, and sometimes they can even sleep up to 16 hours. The sleep cycle of hamsters is quite short. Usually, each sleep cycle lasts for around 11.5 minutes, and it will cycle about 75 times a day.
The sleeping habits of hamsters are in their nature. So don't force them to change their sleeping time to avoid harming their physical health. As long as the hamsters' mental state and excretion are normal, it doesn't matter how long they sleep. If the hamsters are noisy at night, the owners can try to adjust their sleeping time. For example, play with the hamsters more during the day or tempt them with snacks. But make sure to use proper methods.
