my bearded dragon is acting strange

its really freaking me out. a few hours ago when it was time to turn his lights out, he went to the corner furthest from the spot lam, stood himself up, and pressed himself into the corner, so his belly/head was flat against the side of the tank. I sprayed him a bit and he drank it, but I'm really worried. I took him out to check him over and make sure he was okay, and when I put him back in he didn't move around too much. Is this normal?

I thought maybe it might have been some kind of energy conserving thing, but he's a baby, maybe a month or two old, that shouldn't be happening, should it?

When I took him out he seemed alert enough, just not as...moving? as normal.

Any help/information would be really helpful.
 
Sounds like he was settling down for the night. Bearded dragons will sleep in weird positions sometimes and they will sleep how you described.
 
yeah dont try to figure beardies out, you will loose too much sleep for nothing! They do like to entertain and love do sleeping positions.
 
My beardie the last couple of nights has been sleeping on his basking spot butt in the air head near the ground... Silly little guy

Yeah he sounds fine, my two have all kinds of different sleeping positions, not sure how any of them are comfortable but then again like Wykd said you'll hurt your brain trying to figure out a beardie
 
sounds normal. beardies sleep in the weirdest positions and ways. why? i dont know. mine does the exact thing stands up against the glass. it may be comfortable to them :)
