It’s not all Pontifex, drugs and rock and roll.
The head of the Holy See admits he falls wholly asleep when he’s saying his prayers on occasion.
“When I pray, sometimes I fall asleep,” Pope Francis revealed in an episode of a Catholic TV2000 program published on YouTube Tuesday, The Guardian reports.
The pope said he’s usually tucked into bed around 9 p.m. but wakes up as early as 4 a.m.
However, the Vatican City sleepyhead cited another prominent figure in Catholicism who shared his habit of snoozing.
“Saint Therese did it too,” the 80-year-old religious leader said, referring to the 19th century French nun who Pope Saint Pius X called “the greatest saint of modern times.”
While Pope Francis hasn’t made any headlines for sleeping on the job, the same can’t be said for his predecessor.
In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI briefly dozed off in front of tens of thousands of followers at an outdoor mass in Malta.
