Given Donald Trump’s status as one of the most recognizable figures in the world, it is not surprising that almost every detail of his life has long been under the scrutiny of the public. However, as Melania Trump recently said, even years later there are still things that few people know about —, such as the former president’s very unusual habits before bed.
In her 2024 memoir Melania: A Memoir, and in a subsequent interview for Fox News’ The Five, the former first lady shared rare details of her husband’s evening routine. Trump himself has repeatedly stated that during his presidency he slept only four to five hours a day — is extremely short for any person, although for the leader of one of the most influential countries in the world this may not seem so surprising.
«He really hardly sleeps», — Melania said with a smile, immediately adding: «No, of course he rests», clarifying that sleep is still present, its duration is simply minimal.
But the moment of greatest interest was when Fox News host Greg Gatfeld jokingly asked whether Donald Trump was wearing pajamas before bed. Melania answered without hesitation: «No». And when she was asked to clarify what exactly the former president was sleeping in, she just smiled mysteriously and gestured as if she was zipping her lips —, causing laughter and a lot of guesses among the audience.
Trump’s unusual habits during night flights have also been repeatedly discussed by journalists accompanying him on his trips. CNN’s White House chief correspondent Caitlan Collins recently shared details on the Trading Secrets podcast, noting that employees are not always happy about long flights with the former president.
«He barely sleeps during such trips», — Collins said. «Even on night flights to Asia, he remains cheerful and constantly talks. Sometimes he even asks employees to wake up other people to continue communicating».
Judging by Melania’s humorous hints and employee stories, Donald Trump’s night routine turns out to be as unconventional and unusual as his public image.
