Sample Answer
How many hours do you sleep usually?
I usually sleep for about eight hours. Sometimes I can get tied up with my studies so I hit the hay pretty late, but I try to go to bed at a decent time so I won’t be tired the next day. It’s good to have a routine, and even better to have a good sleep schedule.
How much sleep do you wish to have every day?
In a perfect world, I’d love to have nine or even ten hours of sleep every day. I think having a good rest can do wonders for your mental and physical health. But since I’m usually pretty busy with school, I don’t always have enough time to sleep in and get that many hours in.
How have your sleeping habits changed since you were young? / Do you sleep more than you did when you were younger?
Well, when I was a kid, I didn’t have that many responsibilities, especially during summer vacation, so I could sleep in for as long as I wanted to. Of course, my parents didn’t want me to sleep the whole day away, but I definitely got more rest than I do now.
Is enough/sufficient sleep important?
Yes, I think it’s really important to get enough sleep. As I mentioned, it does wonders for your mental and physical health and makes sure you can do your best during the day. Personally, if I don’t get enough sleep, I’m a total buzzkill to the people around me because I’m so tired. So you definitely need to get lots of rest.
Do you take naps at noon?
No, I actually don’t take naps at noon. Whenever I take a nap, I wake up really confused . Sometimes I wind up even more tired than I was before. I like being productive during that time of day, so I don’t think sleeping is a good way for me to spend the afternoon.
Do you like to read before bed?
Yeah, I definitely like reading before bed. If it’s a book that I’m really enjoying, it can set my mind at ease and help me get a better rest. Plus, I read that it’s best to not look at screens for at least half an hour before you go to bed. So I often read a few pages of a book in bed. That way, I can fall asleep a lot quicker.
