The challenging risk associated with the job, according to reports, could result in a health hazard due to lack of sleep. While speaking at a Turning Point USA event, which took place at the George Washington University, Leavitt confessed that she sleeps very little, as per Irish Star.

When Kirk asked Leavitt what aspects of the role kept her up at night, she talked about the "crazy" late-night behavior of Trump. She said, "The reality that my boss stays awake all night and is likely to call at any time." Kirk, too, agreed to President Trump's nocturnal nature and said, "The President sleeps very, very little."

Agreeing, Leavitt said, "Very little. Like, maybe four hours a night. It's crazy. I'm a third his age, and I can't keep up. I tell him that all the time."

She said, "I don’t sleep as well in this job because there's just so much going on all the time, breaking news. You never know what you're going to get when you wake up, whether it's the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. And I have all the fake news media apps on my phone."

Karoline Leavitt Discusses Trump's Sleeping Habits

Is Karoline Leavitt on borrowed time amid firings?

As reported by The Mirror US, a political analyst said Leavitt's position may be at risk as the Trump administration has witnessed various firings and exits. Former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi were the latest ones to have been removed from their positions.

Political Analyst Christopher Lee, while speaking to the publication, shared that the "breaking point" for her exit could have already occurred. He said, “When Sean Spicer became the joke, almost from the jump, Trump felt they were laughing at him. For Leavitt, the break may already have come. It starts with the Jesus meme where she told Trump to say the photo was 'doctored' and Trump said he thought he looked like ‘a doctor’.”
