Donald Trump’s health remains a topic of concern and interest for many following his remarks over his aspirin use, bruises appearing on his hand and his ally RFK’s remarks over his diet. Now, his sleep schedule has come under the spotlight once again. 

Mr Trump appears not to see anything wrong with this habits, dismissing suggestions that he should get more sleep. He said: “I think five hours is plenty. I find that when I’m really enjoying myself, I sleep less.”

Despite concerns for his health, the US president’s official medical report claims he remains in exceptional health with strong neurological and physical performance.

In the NY Mag interview, he also addressed concerns for his physical and cognitive health, telling the outlet that he’s in “perfect health” and feels “the same as I did 40 years ago”.

“I have to sit back and listen, and I move my hand so that people will know I’m listening. I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out.”

White House officials were also quick to defend Mr Trump, with staff secretary Will Scharf calling it “thinking”, “not dozing”. He said: “It’s not dozing. Sometimes if he’s thinking about something ‒ and I made that mistake at first too ‒ he adopts a pose.
