Well you don't exactly see everything they do while you're asleep do you? They might so their own thing while your not looking. Some are very "friendly" and when they see you come in the room they come out to greet you. They are supossed to be nocturnal but I guess some have differnt habits.

Young leos are up a lot during the day, yes. (they are up a lot at night too lol you just dont' know about it). But the older they get the more strictly nocturnal they get. Adults do sleep all day. Although they will usually wake up if you offer them food

Leopard Geckos are actually Crepsecular.

Their primary periods of activity are at dawn and dusk.

That is one reason they are such great pets, they often will be active when you are first waking up to get ready for school/work and they will be active around the hours you are winding down for the evening.

I was gonna say something but decided Ive never actually watched my leos at 4 in the morning...

My leos are definitely most active from 7-11 pm, and again in the early morning (6-9 am or so). Thanks for the info
