Sleeping while on duty

In Japan, the practice of napping in public, called inemuri (居眠り, lit. "present while sleeping"), may occur in work meetings or classes. Brigitte Steger, a scholar who focuses on Japanese culture, writes that sleeping at work is considered a sign of dedication to the job, such that one has stayed up late doing work or worked to the point of complete exhaustion, and may therefore be excusable.

"Sleepy Don:" Trump Falls Asleep During Hush-Money Trial : politics

This redditor collected a bunch of quotes to share with the world. Sad.

“My theory: Trump’s legal team sedated him,” Mother Jones DC bureau chief David Corn wrote on X.

“Looks, he’s old. The judge is keeping Sleepy Don from his nap time,” Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski posted.

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Super PAC, wrote that Mr Trump had worn himself out with his post-trial Truth Social rants.

“#SleepyDon was up late rage-posting on Truth Social,” the account posted.

Several other social media users joined in the joke.

“I prefer Presidents who don’t fall asleep before the lunch break in their hush money paid to a porn star election interference trial,” one user mocked.

“If Sleepy Don is too low energy to stay awake during the first day of his criminal trial, does he even have the stamina to be President?” another wrote.

“‘Sleepy Joe’ is [a] projection, like everything else,” the account Republican Voters Against Trump posted.

The deepest and fastest sleep consistently always happens sitting upright in a chair when you shouldn't be asleep, let the man nap
