Pillow Talk

It's election season again and that means plenty of references to "pillow talk." This really stumps me, because when my husband's head hits the pillow he instantly falls asleep! I know this to be true because of the soft snoring about 28 seconds later. So why do some candidates claim to have discussed issues of significant political weight after being tucked in for the night? I'm not saying my husband never discusses weighty political matters with me. But it's like an Olympic event - it only happens every four years.
