Welcome to the world of Sugar Gliders. You don't have to own one to love 'em, so it's no problem to have you around. 
They are nocturnal, so they sleep away most of the day but doesn't mean they can't wake up. Our glider owners here usually bring them out in their pouches all day, but we don't constantly play with them, allowing them to sleep in the pouch. Once they get used to the motion of being in the pouch while we do our daily routine, it's not easy to wake them unless you take them out. Like I can run, walk, or even jump and Billie will stay fast asleep in her pouch.
They do wake up themselves when they need to pee and/or poo, or even play. Billie is a pouch destroyer because when she wants to pee, means she wants to pee, so have to secretly take her out during class for her to pee. But sometimes she wants to play, which will result in the process of destroying the zipper because I can't leave her out too long. But usually if you do not take them out for a long period of time and they stay asleep in the pouch, the next time you do, they will usually automatically pee and/or poo right after you take them out.
That kind of routine to bond to 2 is okay for short periods of time, preferably not over a day, but once in a while let them rest, like don't bring them out for alternate days. Its recommended to have a strong bond to the first one though, then only get a second. And also, bringing both out at the same time is better than leaving one at home, unless you have no confidence when it comes to handling 2 at once. It does have a negative effect if you do it too often and separate them for too long.
Thanks for your kind reply, Reanne. I would like to ask how much do we need to spend on a pair of sugar gliders if we were to give it a luxurious good life? I know they need a lot of time bonding with their safest tree, their human. But I never asked, how much of financial commitment does it take to own a pair.They are nocturnal, so they sleep away most of the day but doesn't mean they can't wake up.

Anyone can answer me your monthly expenditure on your pair of sugar gliders? Please break down the amount to each items. THank you!!
