Chrissy Teigen was definitely asleep during the Oscars

Sometimes, you have to respect the need to snooze.

It doesn't matter if you're riding a subway or in the audience during Hollywood's biggest night—you gotta respect the subtle nap.

Chrissy Teigen understands this, and her ability to nap anywhere was fortunately demonstrated at the 89th Academy Awards where she was caught snoozing through some of the important moments of the night.

The camera occasionally panned to audience members like Meryl Streep and Matt Damon during the acceptance speeches of Emma Stone and Casey Affleck, but if you look closely, a few rows back lies a supermodel taking a power nap on the shoulders of John Legend.

In a Snapchat later that night, Teigen teased herself by posting a video of her taking a catnap with Guillermo Rodriguez, a cast member of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
