Can a turtle go to sleep?

[Edit]

Of Course!

Turtles, like any other animal, sleep when they need to. I catch my four napping on a regular basis. They love catching a snooze while out sunning themselves.

Davidmt1: They can't sleep under water they have to be basking. If they were to sleep under water they might drown.

* My turtle spent her first night completely undewater (sleeping) So I guess they do sleep underwater they hold their breath for hours
