Question
um................i kinda need help! my hamster,sugar wont sleep during the day.....its always playing on his wheel! wat do i do? HELP! also thankx for the help with the picking up hamster!

Answer
He's probably just adapted to your sleeping patterns.  It may be that due to noise/light he can't sleep well during the day and has taken to sleeping at night when the house is quieter.  This shouldn't hurt anything but if you want him sleeping during the day, try moving him to a quieter area.
