As the above poster said please fill out the how to ask for help, it will help to identify if there is any obvious things that need corrected.

You said he was sleeping and it's 5 pm, has he been sleeping all day (or on and off throughout the day) or just now sleeping? Because my guys tend to head to bed a hour or 2 before lights out (tho most the time keep there eyes open till it's dark).

Sleeping on your hand shortly after being woke up does seem odd to me, I try not to disturb them after bed time, but on the few occasions I've had to they have always stayed alert till back fully settled on their perch. if they are shy they will sometimes close their eyes when stressed, but falling asleep that quick in your hand doesn't sound like normal behavior.

fill out the form, I'm sure some of the more experienced members will have some advice for you.
