US Vice President JD Vance has revealed details about Donald Trump’s unusual sleep patterns, sparking more concerns around the president’s health.
Trump has already triggered widespread alarm due to his apparent tendency to nod off during crucial events. Vance recently featured on the All In podcast, where he discussed various subjects ranging from the forthcoming midterms to artificial intelligence.
Vance said Trump frequently works beyond midnight, even going so far as to ring Cabinet members in the early hours asking, “Are you awake?”.
Vance added: “Scott Bessent always jokes he’ll call us at 2.30am and he’ll say ‘were you up?’ And it’s like, no sir, I wasn’t, but I am now! He’s working at all hours of the day!”.

Health concerns have surrounded Trump who became the oldest person ever sworn in as US President, reports the Irish Star.
The video snippet, shared on X, prompted intriguing responses from viewers in the comments section, with Trump’s strange sleeping habits causing worry among social media users.
One wrote: “You act like this highly unhealthy behavior is a testament to some prowess to go without rest. It’s not and there is a physical and mental price to pay.”
Another person commented: “He’s about as much use as an Energizer bunny… He just goes on and on… Being f****** pointless.
“Posting smack on Truth Social isn’t any non-MAGA’s idea of ‘working’. I guess his bile and cruelty keeps him awake,” joked a third social media user.
The president’s sleep habits may well be impacting his performance as he is frequently caught nodding off during his daytime commitments.

Recently, Trump seemed to fall asleep at several points during a 9/11 event and was seen slumped in his chair with his eyes shut and his head drooping.
Online commentators remarked that the leader appeared “sleepy” during the ceremony and his eyes were completely closed at times – including during Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech.
“A sleepy Donald Trump has decided to take a nap at the Pentagon Ceremony,” said one account, with more than 100,000 followers, on X.
“Watching the 9/11 memorial and Trump is asleep,” said another. “Trump can’t keep his eyes open even on September 11. Camera was on him for some time and he barely moved.”
However, the White House dismissed these claims, with spokesperson David Ingle stating: “President Trump was solemnly listening and remembering the victims and heroic first responders who tragically lost their lives on that fateful day. Anyone ridiculously claiming the president was asleep is lying.”
