Answer it yourself first
Record your own answer first. A model you have read three times comes out with a flattened rhythm, and examiners are trained to hear exactly that. Read it afterwards for the vocabulary and the shape, not to memorise the sentences.Generally, yes, once I am actually asleep. Falling asleep is the difficult part, because my mind decides that midnight is the ideal moment to review everything I said that day. Once I am under, I do not wake until the alarm. The nights that go badly are always the ones after a late meeting, so I try to keep the evening quiet.

Straight answers
How long should my answer to “Do you sleep well most nights?” be?
About 45 seconds. Long enough for the answer plus a reason or an example, short enough that the examiner can get through the rest of the set.
Should I memorise the model answer?
No. Record your own version first, then read the model for the shape and the vocabulary. A memorised answer changes rhythm and pace noticeably, and examiners are trained to hear it — it usually costs more than the better wording gains.
