If you missed the medium-term budget policy statement on Wednesday, you weren't the only one.

Members of Parliament (MPs), including President Jacob Zuma, also missed it -- by sleeping through most of Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba's maiden address.

Thanks to advancements in technology, however, these naps were captured -- and tweeps had a field day with it.
