What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking?

** I attached pics of the enclosure and of his current state now**
Current Problem - 45 minutes before the lights go out I caught him "sleeping". Its not a deep sleep, he just had his eyes closed, and when I got closer he opened them. I know its normal for them to go to their sleeping places early, but i wasn't sure about this.... Thanks for any help and advice!
