Donald Trump's sleeping patterns have been made public by daughter-in-law Lara, as the president continues to be plagued by health concerns.

Trump's Lack Of Sleep Revealed
The president has been caught on camera dozing off.
Trump has been accused of falling asleep in public on several occasions in recent months, including during game three of the NBA finals at Madison Square Garden in June where he was seen reportedly nodding off inside a private box.
The 80-year-old president was also caught on camera with his eyes closed while seated cageside during UFC Freedom 250 days later, prompting a fresh wave of social media speculation.

Lara, who is married to Trump’s second son Eric then admitted: "Now, the truth is, for me, the thing that generally suffers the most is probably my time sleeping.

The White House have angrily denied Trump has been caught napping.
Spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed recent sleeping claims in a strongly worded statement to The Independent, saying: "President Trump's sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration, when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden's serious mental and physical decline from the American people.
"President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health."
