What is the best way, if any to get my little buddy Thor to be up while im up. If this happens naturaly just say that, but is there anything that helps?

i keep answering your mouse questions and you keep picking them as best answer! anyway, i just realized, you jock my hairstyle.
the only possible solution i have for this is to consistantly play with him at the same time every day. this may eventually guide him out of his sleeping schedule. if he knows you have food, he might get up earlier. like, if you were snoozing, and someone offered you a filet mignon, would you get up? i would!
hope this helps. =)

Mouse are nocturnal, and they sleep for about 20 hours a day, so I wouldnt count too much on Thor being awake. It would be VERY difficult to change your mouses circadian rythym. Just try to catch him once in a while in the evening.

Play with him regularly during the day. He'll probably still sleep some of the time and play some during the night, but just handle and play with him when you're awake--he won't mind.

Rodents are nocturnal and so they play all night, and sleep all day. It may help if you handle him more during the day, but even so, you can expect him to still sleep most of the time during day light hours.

You can't. Don't you know that mice are nocturnal (sleep during the day)? During the daytime, make the house dark and quiet, and maybe your mouse will come out and play if they think it's nighttime.

Mice are nocturnal i.e they naturally sleep in the day and wake at night time. It would probably be easier for you to changing your sleeping habits than him. Your could always work the night shift!

Throw a towel over his cage during the day, and give him a night light after dark. This might fool his internal clock.
