Answer 2

No.

Hamsters are nocturnal, but they don't always sleep until...say, 9pm, and then wake up and stay awake until 6am, for example.

Your's is waking up early evening, doing things for a bit, and then going back to sleep, then waking up for a short time in the early morning.

Hamsters normally sleep for about twenty hours a day/night, so it's nothing to be concerned with.

Answer 3

hamsters are nocturnal.  they sleep all day, and are usually up while you are sleeping at night.  i'm sure the hamster is fine. it's using its wheel and it's eating and drinking.  by the way, don't keep it in direct sunlight. they aren't fond of it.
