Trying to prevent cats from sleeping during the day may not be the best option, because cats' sleep habits are determined by their biological clock; they usually rest during the day and are active at night.
Cats typically sleep 12 to 16 hours a day. Forcing a cat to stay awake can have serious consequences. For example, it can lower the cat's immune system, increasing its risk of illness; it can also make the cat irritable and prone to aggression, potentially harming its owner.
