Closing eyes for 30 seconds while continuing to hold his head upright is not sleeping. It may be drowsiness, but he’s not asleep. He is still clearly unwell.

The other clips from cabinet meetings, etc. clearly show him nodding off, head either drooping down into his chest or falling back against the headrest of his chair.
