Yeah Crepuscular is the right word
At the moment it's really cold so I prefer to keep the curtains closed to keep the heat in. I leave my light on during the day and then they have the same hours of darkness as I have.
In terms of noise, the only hamsters I hear when I go into the kitchen (the room directly under mine) are if a Syrian is bar chewing. I never hear the noise from the dwarfs or chinese
