Melania Trump previously detailed President Trump's typical nighttime routine while running the country.
The Republican president has previously boasted about getting only four to five hours of sleep per night during his first stint in the White House, though some would argue that is pretty standard for world leaders running their country.
While it remains unclear how many hours of kip Trump gets per night nowadays, Melania once revealed on the campaign trial last year the typical bedtime routine for her husband.
The First Lady appeared on Fox News' The Five to promote her book, Melania: A Memoir, where she detailed the president's private bedtime practices which we didn't really need to know.

Melania said: "He doesn't sleep much," before going on to clarify: "He does, of course."
Fox News panelist Greg Gutfeld then asked Melania if Trump 'wears pyjamas', to which Melania issued a quick 'no' response.
"What does he wear when he sleeps, Melania?" Gutfeld pressed the now First Lady on. But Melania refused to speak further, making a zipping gesture across her lips to the question.
I mean, did we really need to know such a detail?
Trump's sleep pattern, or lack there of, was discussed by a CNN reporter who detailed the most annoying thing about traveling globe with the president.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins appeared on Jason Tartick's Trading Secrets podcast last month and gave her insights from talking to insiders about the pain of traveling aboard Air Force One.
She said: “I had this source who said you never want to be on Air Force One on a trip, and I said, ‘Why?’ You would think you would want to be in the axis of power, close to Trump."
The former Chief White House Correspondent said it can be difficult to get to grips with the president’s unusual sleep schedule, especially during long haul flights.
Collins said: “He doesn't sleep on these trips and like, you're going to Asia or something, and that's kind of the only time you're going to sleep before you go on this trip, but Trump is just always up and talking.
“He'll have them go wake staff up if they're asleep because he wants to talk to them.”
Collins and her colleague Kevin Liptak wrote in their report at the time: "He’ll summon sleeping staffers to his office at moments the rest of the plane is dark, impatient to discuss his upcoming meetings or devise a response to something he saw in the media."
