        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has revealed his habit of waking up at 3 AM to monitor global issues via YouTube, attributing it to the need to stay updated despite time zone differences with regions like the Middle East and the US. He recounted an instance during the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore where he watched President Joe Biden's statement on the Middle East at dawn, allowing him to respond first in his subsequent speech. Prabowo also shared his flexible sleeping patterns, honed from his military career, enabling him to nap briefly during travel or breaks to maintain energy.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - President Prabowo Subianto has revealed his\nhabit of waking up in the middle of the night to monitor developments in\nglobal issues through digital platforms, including YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sleep at 1 AM, but I wake up again at 3 AM. Why? This is the issue\nwith technology, right? There\u2019s YouTube,\u201d said Prabowo in \u2018President\nPrabowo Answers\u2019, which aired on YouTube, quoted on Tuesday\n(31\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that as head of state, he needs to continuously update\nhimself on global information, especially given the time differences\nbetween world regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to know the latest developments that have occurred. We are 4\nhours different from the Middle East, then several hours from America.\nSo I have to follow what is happening. And that is probably what keeps\nme always a bit up to date,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo also recounted his experience while attending an\ninternational forum in Singapore. He admitted to monitoring the latest\ndevelopments from the United States in the early hours of local\ntime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember at that time I was in Singapore, the Shangri-La Dialogue.\nBecause I have the habit of waking up at 3 AM, I opened YouTube. 3 AM in\nSingapore is, if I\u2019m not mistaken, around 3 PM in Washington D.C.,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, at that time President Joe Biden had just made a\nstatement regarding the Middle East issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m not mistaken, at that time President Biden had just said\nsomething about Palestine or whatever. Because I read it right away,\nwhen it was my turn to speak at 9-10 AM, I was the first to give my\nresponse to Biden\u2019s speech,\u201d added Prabowo.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his habit of monitoring global information on YouTube,\nPrabowo also revealed his flexible sleep pattern, which he says was\nformed since his military career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo maybe this is knowledge I got from the army. For me, for example,\nif I\u2019m in a car I can sleep, in a helicopter I can sleep, in a plane I\ncan sleep,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also admitted to being accustomed to utilising short intervals\nbetween schedules for a brief rest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, 15 minutes to recharge like that, especially 20 minutes. My\nideal is actually 30 minutes,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>",
