Fancy Titles Don’t Prevent Public Sleeping
Today is National Public Sleeping Day, one of those obscure holidays that prove useful primarily for starting conversations in the elevator. There is one group in dire need of a sleep-freely-card: public officials. Their jobs entail bouncing around from boring event to boring event, and yet all it takes is a second of shut-eye to turn them into international laughingstocks. In honor of this holiday, therefore, we absolve the following presidents, Supreme Court justices and other busy officials of any lingering humiliation for the following public snoozefests. Take a look through this gallery and remember that sometimes – no matter the occasion or the fancy title – the great impulse to sleep cannot be overcome.
Public Sleeper: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The Supreme Court justice, who has a documented history of public sleeping, could not keep her self awake through Obama’s State of the Union address in 2010. Fellow justice Stephen Breyer nudged her awake, according to the Washington Post, but not before the cameras captured the moment.
