change in sleeping patterns

Lately, last few weeks, our Cosmo, 1 year old veiled, has changed his sleeping patterns. He used to still be awake when lights went out at 6 or 7pm. Lately I have found him already in his sleeping spot, eyes closed by 5, sometimes earlier, yesterday it was before 4pm. Lights go on daily between 5 and 6am. I'm wondering if it has something to do with weather getting colder or time changes? I know they don't tell time, but maybe an instinctual clock, lol

He is not handled much, as he doesn't like it, never has
He is fed 5-6 large gut loaded crickets every other day with calcium dust. Vitamin supplement dust, every other week. He also gets BSL, hornworms or superworms when I have them.
He is in a 36 x 24 x 18 screen enclosure ( I know needs to be bigger, just haven't gotten it yet}.
I have his heat lamp and a T5 arcadia 6% linear UVB on daily and an led plant bulb every other day. Lights are on at least 12 hrs per day.
He is misted by hand 2x's daily, I mist until water is dripping from the plants, 1.5 to 2 minutes, plus he gets a dripper on non feeding days.

I've attached a few photos of Cosmo and his habitat. Thanks in advance for any help.

I too have been having a few behavior changes in the last week. Could be coincidental but also the cooler days here in California coupled with the shoter days could be contributing.
