Most of the day. They are more nocturnal than anything else and a little like a cat. They like to nap, hunt a bit, nap a bit more.

They usually sleep in their dens which may be burrows abandoned by other animals, hollow trees, rock crevices, culverts, storm sewers, abandoned buildings, attics, etc.

Raccoons usually will sleep in the day and emerge at night to forage for food. However, they are sometimes active in the daylight, especially to take advantage of food sources.
