Seriously Dad, stop talking so I can sleep.

LONDON -- As a bleary-eyed world awakes to the news that Donald Trump has been elected as president of the United States, one person in particular is yearning for his bed.

Poor 10-year-old Barron Trump has likely been awake all night and, boy was he looking tired during his dad's presidential victory speech.

Indeed, Barron was scarcely able to keep his eyes open during the speech. Visibly sighing and rolling his eyes, Barron looked like he wanted the whole damn charade to be over so he can go the hell to sleep. We feel your pain, Barron!

His face says it all. "What does sleep even feel like?" he's thinking.

Is it possible to sleep while standing up with your eyes open?

Will he even make it to his bed? Sleep is coming for you, Barron. Hold tight!

People took to Twitter to surmise what was going through Barron's mind as his father was delivering his speech. Playstation sure does sound good right now.

Barron's visible sighs spoke to viewers as they watched the speech, with many tweeting that they felt the same way as sleep-deprived Barron.

And, some joked that perhaps Barron doesn't really want to be son of POTUS.
