Petey spends a large amount of his time sleeping. He not only goes to sleep early and rises early, but also likes to take midday naps when there is nothing exciting going on. Many sources say that Conures in general need at least 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
Visitors have noted in comments that it is important to have hardwood perches available for your birds. Petey does have natural hardwood perches in his cage. In the background you can see a manzanita branch. Manzanita is one of the hardest woods you can get for parrot perches. Make sure the perch you get has variation in its thickness. Although you can probably find some online, it is best to pick an individual branch out at your local pet store. Each branch is fairly unique and picking your bird's perch out will ensure the best fit possible.
