About Sleepy Don
HardlyWarKing is a daily reminder of promises made and promises kept.
Sleepy Don tracks how many days have passed since Donald Trump last nodded off during a public appearance. The page also documents previous reported public sleep incidents, with dates and source links. The counter resets only when video or credible contemporaneous reporting reasonably shows an actual nod-off, not merely closed eyes or visible fatigue.
