Just remember you want to emphasize how difficult things are. Don't ever answer a question in a way that sounds like you don't have problems.
So you might answer "I wake up about 10 AM but remain groggy until 12 PM. I am unsafe to drive until at least 12 PM. I eat a bowl of cereal about 11 AM and a sandwich about 1 PM. I attempt to (do some task) in the early afternoon but need to rest frequently/have difficulty concentrating resulting in ______/am often unable to attempt the task because I feel/have these symptoms. For dinner I eat ______ which can be hard to prepare because of blank. I read when I can, but sometimes am unable to focus. In the evening I read or watch tv when I am able to focus; if I am not I ______. Once a week I visit my mom; this is challenging because ______. Occasionally I go out with friends but have limited tolerance for this because I become easily overwhelmed by the noise. I try to shower about 9 pm (which I succeed at about 3 times per week) and take meds and start trying to sleep about 10 pm. It takes me 3-5 hours to fall asleep even following good sleep hygiene practices and with good med compliance."
(I made this up obviously but does it help? If not let me know and I'll try again)
