I don't have an answer based on fact, however my pet rat sleeps most of the day, and is up most of the night. Just want to add that people have the wrong perception of rats. They can make wonderful pets. The one I have is very affectionate and fun to play with. I usually take him out in the early evening.
Viper1 How long the rat sleeps depends on the rat my rats, dutchess and sue, sleep most of the day and stay up during the night. You as the owner need to determine when they are sleeping more than usual. if they start to sleep more than usual contact an exotics vet right away!!!
Hamsters are nocturnal, and tend to sleep for most of the day, usually for around 14 hours or more per 24 hour period.
a pet rat can sleep in alot of things that are in its cage. my rat sleeps in a tissue box which has one side of it cut off and in there, is some tissue for it to sleep on.
Off and on all day and night.
Guinea pigs sleep in there cage on the floor.....Or if you dont like that you can buy little guinea pig beds at the petstore for luxury...

They are not strictly nocturnal or diurnal, but are more active in the daytime.
It depends on what your looking for. Long haired guinea pigs are a little more high maintence because you have to brush them and cut there hair on there bottom. Other then that it just depends on the guinea pigs personality.
