Sharing on Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday, he wrote: "Unable to sleep once again but not stressed about it. No early start tomorrow. I'm smiling watching @RuthieeL's little face in the Land of Nod. NOTHING could wake her! She sooo loves her sleep and I so love her," alongside a heart emoji.
