Pope Francis has admitted that he sometimes sleeps while praying.

In an episode of a Catholic TV2000 television programme published on Youtube, Pope Francis says when I pray, sometimes I fall asleep.

But he said that falling asleep during prayer actually pleased God and that Christians were called to "feel like children lying in their fathers' arms".
