Overview
- Schnieder, the CDU’s lead candidate for the Rhineland-Palatinate Landtag election, told dpa he can sleep “anytime and anywhere.”
- He says he naps even while sitting, has not tried sleeping standing, and finds quick back-seat powernaps useful on drives across the state.
- “Every minute counts,” he said of squeezing in short rest, a practice he adopted as a student after sleepless nights.
- Hiking is his preferred way to clear his head, though he notes the campaign leaves little time for it.
- Citing his upbringing in Birresborn in the Vulkaneifel, he says winter campaigning does not trouble him and he rarely needs a scarf or gloves.
