Basking concerns

Trinket (my baby turtle) has been basking more frequently. This was not really a concern until today when, after his light automatically turned off, he stayed on his basking rock. I thought maybe he had fallen asleep so I touched the rock and made it shake a little. He woke up, looked at me, and then went right back to sleep. This is very unlike him. He is okay with me being around but if my hands are near him, he darts back into the water. He is still there now, even though his lights have been off over an hour. What should I do?
