Do you turn the lights off at night? The second I turn the lights out Rocky goes to his bed and goes to sleep like a good little turtle.

10 pm is kind of late if your turtle is affected by natural light in a room. I imagine that throws off their circadian rhythm. Maybe invest in a timer and aim for a more natural 12 hour period of light, so the other 12 hours they feel the need to slow things down.

All you need is a simple lamp timer. You can even order one online if you don't have time to go to the store yourself.
