GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy has come under fire and scrutiny many times this year already. For example, his willingness to turn the other cheek to fellow GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's increasingly unhinged antics has had people questioning his leadership.
McCarthy's understanding of basic human functionality also came under question after an appearance on Fox News, wherein he attempted to deride President Joe Biden's sleep schedule, saying that Biden "doesn't have the energy" of his predecessor because of his need to sleep five hours per night.
"But at no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. We both know it. Donald Trump didn't need to sleep five hours a night" -- Kevin McCarthy to Hannitypic.twitter.com/LKSKLUoC8E— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1621041677
Sleeping five hours per night is still well under the Mayo Clinic's recommendations for a healthy sleep schedule.
Sleep deprivation can lead to greater increased symptoms of dementia--something that could easily be responsible for former President Donald Trump's erratic behavior, including insane tweets and inciting an insurrection against Congress and his own Vice President.

It's not how long you sleep or don't sleep.\nIt's what you do while you're awake.\nTrump spent every waking hour of his presidency trying to benefit himself & did it at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives lost to COVID & a worse quality of life for everyone.\nGood riddance— Jinx in TN (@Jinx in TN) 1621082150
You don't need 5 hours a night when you're asleep at the wheel the rest of the time or wrapped up in the psychoses fuelled by sleep deprivation.— Godfried Pimlott (@Godfried Pimlott) 1621114735
People who abuse stimulants rarely need 8 hrs of sleep.— PamGuru (@PamGuru) 1621042784
The comparison briefly had #Adderall trending.
Adderall, an amphetamine mostly prescribed to children diagnosed with an Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), is a stimulant with the ability to keep somebody awake for inhumanly long periods of time, especially if abused recreationally.
It is amazing how much energy Adderall can providehttps://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1393375901170155521\u00a0\u2026— Heisenberg's Quandry #WearaDamnMask (@Heisenberg's Quandry #WearaDamnMask) 1621262326

When you do that much speed, it\u2019s not that you don\u2019t want to sleep at night, it\u2019s that you can\u2019t. And that\u2019s really bad for you. So yeah, great we have a president who can sleep.https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1393375901170155521\u00a0\u2026— Alan Hess (@Alan Hess) 1621221702

Whatever Joe Biden is doing, as he did indeed keep several of his first-100 days campaign promises with little-to-no problem, including surpassing the "100 million shots in 100 days" by close to double; it seems to be working.
