Does Princess Luna sleep through the day?

I have no idea, I imagine she probably does sleep at night in a way seeing that she visits people's dreams.

Yea, it (kind of) explains it in the Luna short comic by ibw.

I wonder if Luna ever feels lonely at night when everypony is sleeping. There are probably nocturnal animals to keep her company but most of the ponies are day animals.

Most of the time, yes.

She's awake during the night to rule and help the ponies in their dreams (like the CMC).

But she has to sleep during the day.

I don't see how she would raise the night or visit other ponies dreams if she sleeps during the night, that means, she MUST sleep during the day, or she would have health and mental problems other wise  :comeatus:

I am pretty sure that she is nocturnal unless the Alicorn sisters are more god-like than we think and they do not actually need sleep or maybe not as much as normal ponies do.

 

Right! It's like fifteen minutes in "alicorn time" is like two hours of pony time. A one hour nap would a full eight hour sleep.

That would definitely explain why she was pretty much nonexistent in part 2 of A Canterlot Wedding until the very end of the episode. You'd sleep through an full scale invasion of Canterlot too, if you were rising/lowering the moon at a given time and invading the dreams of the ponies of Equestria when they're asleep.

Well she was awake during the beginning of the Crystal Empire.....but then there's also A Canterlot Wedding in which she missed absolutely everything so it's possible ^_^

No wonder she always have half shut eyes, she must be sleepy. :)

Might as well because the Night is > than the daytime any day. Nighttime is wonderful.

I would have to assume that is the case; especially considering how many times we see Celestia by herself during normal duties. The only times we see Luna is during events outside of the norm: The Crystal Empire crisis, Twilight's coronation, Summer Sun Celebration, etc.

 

As such, and as hinted by the Luna Micro, she sleeps through the day and does her duties during night.

I have two theories 1 his egg was lost and it found its way to ponyville, oooor the ponies gathered eggs from different lands for testing etc. and Luna used that eggs for one of Twilights final tests. I dunno it makes since to me

She could and could not. Because when Tirek came back she was sleeping during the night and when the Duke and Duchess came she was awake during the day.

Yeh, I guess that explains nightmare moon.

It is never stated in the show but is heavily implied that Luna probably does sleep during the day, there are certain god like qualities that both Celestia and Luna have but we do also see that they require food, oxygen and most likely sleep as well. With Luna active at night, unless Luna uses something like astral projection to have her spirit be active at night while her body is asleep than she probably sleeps during the day.

I think she is awake during the day only when it is absolutely necessary, like for special occasions or emergencies. Otherwise it makes more sense for her to be asleep during the day so she can be fully alert during the nighttime. It's a good system that way - takes the pressure off Celestia during the nighttime so that she can rest and rejuvenate a bit. I bet Celestia is quite happy to have her back for that reason alone.

The wedding was an odd one, but what else could you do? Let's say the princess of darkness is awoken by a changeling. It makes the episode a bit short unless you have the second half about how they rebuild the palace and bury the dead.

Not that it's cannon, but she has to just totally loose it when backed into a corner? So was she asleap or away from the city?
