Please take your Cham to a very experienced vet that has dealt with chameleons before. Sleeping during the day is a sign that you Cham is very sick. If you tell us your location, @jannb may be able to tell you a good vet in your area. Good luck and keep us posted! Also a pic would be helpful

I live in Dubai uae
He goes to sleep at 5 pm but the sun sets at 7

I'm very worried for my little guy

 

[Decadancin]

If he is active for the rest of the day with eyes open he is most likely fine. My veiled heads in at least an hour before his lights go out, and they are generally set to go off around sunset.

My guy will also find his sleeping spot about 1-1.5 hrs before lights out. But he doesn't close his eyes until after the lights are out.

My two guys (yes separate cages) head to their sleeping spots about a hour before bedtime

What is your UVB situation? Just a few days ago I noticed my female panther closing her eyes before bedtime while basking, right after commenting in a thread in the health clinic. Turns out a new UVB tube or compact that's too close will bother their eyes. Eliminate that scenario and go from there.

What are your temps like? Supplement schedule?

My has went to bed early all summer long

 

[rminnis]

just curious how far was your tube and how far did you move it away from his likely basking areas?

Typically the recommended height is about 10 inches. Depends on the light, here's a link to a chart which should answer your question:
