I don't know about other species, but I have a red-eared slider (one of the most common types of aquatic turtles in the U.S.) and she sleeps at night just like I do. After the sun goes down and her heat lamp turns off, she goes up against one side of her tank, pulls her head in, and sleeps like that all night long.

MY BABY eastern Box turtle sleeps alot since it is a baby and when it sleep under a log it curves his neck out and he sleeps like that
