With Secretary of State Marco Rubio getting a grilling over Donald Trump's apparent mid-day napping habits, Seth Meyers decided to dig into the issue himself on Late Night.

"If there's one thing we know about Trump it's that he's a keen judge of character, he's alway paying close attention to the habits and qualities of the people around him," says Meyers over footage of Trump with his eyes closed in the Oval Office. "We've all seen him in meetings, razor sharp, laser-focussed, locking eyes with everyone around him, carefully scrutinising every word and every gesture, taking the true measure of the men and the soon-to-be-fired women who make up his administration and sure, to you it looks like he's asleep, but everyone looks like they're sleeping when you're so woke."

Cue five minutes of detailed analysis on the president's sleeping habits.
