The question
How many hours do you sleep?
Do you ever take naps?
How to answer it
Give the number, then qualify it — the qualification is the language. 'Seven on a good night, though it drops to five when I'm revising' does more for you than any amount of vocabulary hunting.
What moves the band
- Routine lexis: I'm an early riser, a night owl, I catch up at weekends, a power nap.
These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
