New Delhi, Jan 25
 US President Barack Obama Sunday said he and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared notes on how much sleep they get, and revealed that "Modi gets lesser sleep".

Replying to a question about what the two leaders discussed during their meeting earlier in the day, Obama said it was not possible to reveal the content of their talks.

"But we did discuss how much sleep we were getting," Obama joked at the end of a joint press conference at Hyderabad House here, while Modi laughed at the revelation.

Obama said this was probably because PM Modi was still new at his job and after a few years, Modi will probably get an extra hour of sleep.
