Somnajudication: sleep judging is the next big parasomnia disorder.

Catch Court TV’s new hit series, Judge Sleepy.

I find it odd that he’ll be allowed back if he retakes his exams. Was he unaware that falling asleep mid-trial is unacceptable because he didn’t study hard enough?

The Prosecution rests.

The Defense rests.

But does anyone care if the Judge needs rest? Noooo…
