My Syrian always sleeps in his nest in his house but my dwarfs could be sleeping absolutely anywhere just not where one would expect a hamster to sleep like a big cozy house.
A small oil burner yes or squeezed into a small space between bin cage wall and house yes but that's dwarfs for you.

Your lucky hamster looks lovely and healthy, i'd give him a bigger sandbath to roll around and dig in but leave this one in as well. Any container that fits will do, i've filled baking and sweetie tins, tupperware, enamel pie dishes and glass bonbon jars with sand before.

One of my dwarfs often sleeps all night and gets active in the morning, goes foraging and wants out of cage time. Or she's up in the afternoon, sometimes for hours. There's no pattern i can see so i don't think there's anything amiss with your hamster. It's his personality to brake away from the norm. Enjoy his company.

As for the nails, maybe they look just too tempting not to chew on.
