The country woke up this morning to news that Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was caught sleeping during U.S President Donald Trump's United Nations address.
While Mugabe was snoring away, Trump said some explosive things about Africa, and so did President Jacob Zuma; in fact, he might've even missed his son's epic shopping sprees in the Big Apple.

But Mugabe's not the only world leader to have caught up on some sleep while he should've been on the job. Here are a few great sleeps we'll always remember:

ALL MEDIA: Msholozi was NOT sleeping. He was applying his mind to a dream. He has big dreams. Sometimes they go on for 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/AeT3KGNyQ8

Or when Trump fell asleep during his own inauguration. Whew.

We're all a little sleep deprived, so sometimes we get it, but truly -- try harder.
