Sample Answers
Do you often stay up late? Actually, I try to avoid staying up late, but sometimes I have to when I've got a lot of work to do or I'm watching a really interesting movie. I'd say I stay up late about once or twice a week, usually because I have to meet a deadline or I'm just really engaged in what I'm doing.
What do you do when you stay up late? When I stay up late, I'm usually working on my computer or reading a book. I find that I can focus better at night, and it's quieter, so I can get more done. Sometimes I'll also watch a movie or TV show if I need a break, but I try to avoid screens for too long because it can keep me awake even longer.
How do you feel when you’ve stayed up late the night before? To be honest, I feel pretty groggy and tired when I've stayed up late. I'm not a morning person, so waking up early is already hard for me, and when I've had a late night, it's even tougher. But I try to get some fresh air and drink a lot of water to help me wake up and feel more alert.
What are the bad effects of staying up late? I think one of the worst effects of staying up late is how it affects my mood and productivity the next day. When I'm tired, I'm more irritable and I have trouble concentrating, which makes it hard to get work done. Additionally, staying up late can also impact my physical health, like my digestion and skin, so I try to get enough sleep whenever possible.
