Not just that - monastics practice 'prayer without ceasing', hesychasm.

There's a great book "The Way of the Pilgrim" that explores a man's journey to discover what 'prayer without ceasing' means and how it could be possible.

There's also a monastery that was called 'the unsleeping ones' where they divided the hours of the day into shifts and had monastics in prayers throughout the day and night continuously.

It's also traditional to hold vigil for an Orthodox Christian who has died for the first three days after their death, where someone is reading aloud the Psalms in the same room as their body the entire time.
