Yes. Koalas sleep for between 16 and 20 hours a day, but this is over the course of an average day, and not in a single session.

The rest of their time is spent feeding and moving to new trees, whilst the males also may conduct their territorial disputes by night (making them essentially nocturnal).

Koalas sleep for between 16 and 20 hours a day because they need that time to digest the food that they eat. They get enough energy from the food but they have slow digestive systems.
