6. What time does he go to sleep?
From the text:

Wait! That seems odd. Let’s clarify:
He goes to sleep at
7 a.m., which is in the
morning. But since he only sleeps 6 hours, that means he must have woken up at
1 p.m. (which matches).
So even though it says “at night,” it's actually
early morning.
✔ Answer: He goes to sleep at
7 a.m.
