U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was at a meeting in Warsaw, Poland when cameras caught the tired traveler taking a power nap on Tuesday.

Kerry was attending a press conference headed up by President Barack Obama and Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski, when cameras suddenly turned on the snoozing secretary, catching him nodding off as the Polish president spoke.

But Kerry says the brief moment of shuteye was actually “just a really long blink.”
