Punctuation

Hello,

Is the following sentence correct?

'Could you answer this question:"Why did you not wake him up?"?'

The problem is that I don't know whether I should put there the second question mark—it looks really weird; on the other hand, there are basically two questions.

Thanks for any help

Polite formulas don't take a question mark, thank ***. You scared me. The first question mark serves as the closing sentence punctuation.
