С фашистской силой тёмною, с проклятою ордой. Пусть ярость благородная Вскипает, как волна, Идёт Анна Ивановна, Священная война!

It is a question about Anna's sleeping habits. If someone finds her sleeping (when she should not be sleeping) and going to give her a scolding, it would be without "днём":
"Вы спите?" (the formal or the plural form)

Or "ты спишь?" (the informal form)

"During the day" translates as "в тече́нии дня́". This phrase is similar, but it has its own translation.

В течение дня means all day long. BTW. Neon Iceberg has a typo: not течении (e.g. в течении реки) but в течение (in a time period). I think it is not his mistake but his phone damn autocorrect.
It's a bit of a aeird combination but i think you pronounce it lioe this-
First, touch the ends of your teeth together, then you make a little bit of a space between them.
Now take yoyr tongue and put it between the space
Now here comes the hard part, you have got to retract your tongue while also forcing air through your mouth and through that teeth space and also while forcing air from your lungs through that small hole thing that connects your mouth with your nose.
The result should be a very deep (nh) sound while also making a garbled-ish (d) sound.
PS. You also have to continue above steps and make your mouth the shape to pronounce ë while also making nose (nh)
So вы is plural and formal you? In Polish, there is a different word for it + 3rd person singular verb.
Heeelllo admins- I am tired of being marked off for "wrong" English answers. I am NOT here to study correct English. I don_t care about English at all. I want to learn Russian. and these very minor mistakes (if alt all) which are also highly contested among native speakers as we see again and again in the comments, hinder progress. I am spending more attention on the English details than on the Russian one, for gods sake. Can this please be seen to. Thank you.

Is to "спите днём" a phrasal verb for "to nap" or does it simply mean exactly "to sleep during the day"?
It's dnʲˈɵm

'Anna Ivanovna, do you sleep during the day' is a more common option in everyday English
"in daytime" is poor English grammar, "daytime" requires a definite article when used with "in"
Вот здесь было by day https://www.duolingo.com/comment/11635976 Здесь же by day не принимается, в чем соль?

Can I say "anna ivanovna are you asleep in the daytime" in the meaning "Anna Ivanovna, what are you doing? You could walk or work, you just waste your time!"

I don't see where we get in the daytime. Is it because day is in Dative and the Dative implies with the day?
In a university setting, it is usually вы-вы. I think it may vary in school but generally students address their teachers politely (вы, first name+patronymic) whereas the teacher uses their first names. Teachers can also use the last name to clarify whom they mean; a class can easily have more than one person named Елена, Андрей, Пётр, Александр, Ольга, Михаил, Дмитрий, Наталья or Екатерина.
