(CNN) – There’s nothing more embarrassing than falling asleep on the job, especially if your boss is the president of the United States.

It happened during President Obama’s historic speech in Myanmar Monday.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the front row next to democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi, is having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

She appears to be nodding off as the leader of the free world makes an important address before thousands of citizens of Myanmar.

She’s one of the most traveled Secretary of States ever.  And that hectic travel schedule may be catching up with her.

But she won’t get any rest this week.  She’s due in Israel Tuesday night, then it’s on to Gaza and Egypt.
