When Nakata falls asleep, how long does he usually slumber?

• A. Eight hours
• B. 24 hours
• C. Two hours
• D. Twelve hours

Answer: (B)

Nakata’s sleep pattern is unusually long, with him slumbering for a full twenty-four hours. The text portrays his naps as lasting an entire day, a detail that underscores his simple, almost otherworldly nature within Murakami’s dreamlike world. That sustained, day-long sleep is what the story consistently describes, so twenty-four hours is the best fit. The other durations—eight, two, or twelve hours—would represent normal sleep lengths and don’t align with the episodes in which a whole day passes while he’s asleep.
