'He doesn’t sleep. I don’t know how he does it,' Jonathan Karl said of Donald Trump.

Karl went on to claim the POTUS isn't getting a lot of shut-eye.

"He doesn’t sleep. I don’t know how he does it,” Karl said, sharing that Trump is known for taking late-night calls.

"The best time to reach him if I wanted to call him during the campaign was either late at night — far later than you would ever call most other people — and very early in the morning," he explained. "I mean, I would talk to him sometimes before seven, and he’s already up. He’s already watching television."
