Huffington: Sleep Deprivation Causing Trump’s ‘Lack of Judgment, ‘False Memories’

Arianna Huffington, publisher of her eponymous news and commentary site, believes a lack of sleep is what causes Donald Trump to behave the way he does. In an interview this morning on CNN's "Reliable Sources," Huffington attributed Trump's "lack of judgment, the false memories," to insufficient sleep.

STETLER: "Let me ask you about the concept of your book. There's a headline on the website. The writer was suggesting that perhaps sleep deprivation will explain Donald Trump's behavior. Why is it that are you saying sleep is so important even though trump is not getting enough of it?" 
HUFFINGTON: "Well I have an entire chapter on the science. The recent scientific findings that show that contrary to our beliefs that when we sleep the brain is inactive. That's the time of frenetic activity. When all the toxins that are accumulated during the day are cleared out. If that doesn't happen, our cognitive functions are dramatically degraded and we see that happening with Trump again and again. We see the lack of judgment, the false memories, the inability to process information. But we also saw it with Rubio, when Rubio was exhausted. You saw what happened at that disastrous debate that derailed his campaign. And in 2012 we now have actually the evidence of what happened to Rick Perry when he botched his answers and he shortly after was diagnosed with sleep apnea."
