I have ANOTHER question lol

So LuLu along with all my other birds sleep in my room where their cages are. I've noticed that LuLu had been sleeping a lot in the morning or will take short little naps whenever it's quiet. But right around 3-4 I'm the afternoon she is fine and climbing around her cage. When I adopted lulu I was told that she had seen a vet and that she was healthy. Yesterday I called the same vet and told him what she was doing and he told me that she may not be getting enough sleep at night. I tend to toss around in my sleep and the vet told me that that may be keeping LuLu up at night. I was wondering if I should remove the bird cages from my room? Or does my tossing have anything to do with her napping early in the day?
 
All birds take naps throughout the day. Usually during mid day they tend to take naps a bit more while morning and evenings they have more "energy". I wouldn't be worried about your bird taking naps, it's perfectly normal. The signs I would look for is lethargy, lack of appetite and unusual fecal samples. Those are more tell tale signs of illness.
 
Are you putting Lulu to bed early enough so she gets at least 10 hours of sleep?
