Question about the shells.

You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to know this, it's common sence; all members of the tortise family sleep inside their shells. But the turtles don't. This may sound like a stupid question but; if the turtles can duck their heads inside their shells in the movies, why do they not sleep inside them like all normal turtles do?
