try raising the heat at the end of the enclosure, too. At night you won't have to worry about heating in general (unless it can get below 60 degrees. Usually a basking area of 95 is recommended, only to help and aid in digesting. Some russian tortoises are just plain lazy and some are just hyper. Luck of the draw. I have one hyper and one lazy. I wish my hyper one was lazy and i wish my lazy one was hyper. Don't worry too much about him sleeping alot unless when you pick him up or soak him he doesn't respond much at all. At that point see a vet. But, if he seems normal when you handle him there should not be too much to worry about.
I guarantee raising the temp in the basking area you will see a heightened amount of activity.
