It looks like starring in a Broadway show might be taking a toll on Katie Holmes.
The busy actress and single mother, 33, appeared a little tired during a subway ride on Sunday in New York City.
Riding public transportation, as she never would have when married to Tom Cruise, Katie nodded off as six-year-old daughter Suri sat in her lap.
Nap time: Katie Holmes caught up on her sleep while riding the subway with daughter Suri on Sunday in New York City
Wearing a gray sweater and black skirt, Katie crowded into the packed train with the other commuters and grabbed a quick nap.
But even asleep, the devoted mother kept a tight grip on Suri who snacked on an apple as her mother slept.
Sunday, fun day: Katie and Suri appeared delighted as they strolled around the city after their subway ride
Colourful combination: Suri wore an adorable purple, pink and black ensemble
Later, the mother-daughter duo gleefully enjoyed a stroll around the city.
Dressed in an adorable ensemble of a black dress, purple sweater, matching tights, and a bright pink flower in her hair, Suri laughed, talked and skipped while holding her mother's hand.
Holmes is in previews with the Broadway play, Dead Accounts, doing eight performances a week at the Music Box Theatre.
The theatre is dark on Sunday, so that's Suri's big day, and mother and daughter were off for some fun together.
Mommy's little dancer: Suri danced and skipped the entire time
This is the second time that the Batman Begins star has taken to the stage on Broadway - this time playing a woman who has moved moved back home with her Catholic parents in Ohio after a failed relationship.
The dark comedy opens on November 29 for a grueling 16 week run.
Holmes's performance has already drawn a standing ovation – especially when a telephone being used in one scene broke, and she deftly fixed it without skipping a beat.

Church of Scientology 'paid $30MILLION to have criminal investigation into death of member dropped'
Controversial: The 1995 death of Scientology member Lisa McPherson led to protests in Clearwater, Florida
The Church of Scientology spent at least $30million to have a criminal investigation into the death of one of its members in Florida dropped by local authorities, a former church leader alleges in a new lawsuit.
Marty Rathbun claims the church used its influence to sway judges and the medical examiner in Clearwater, Florida, to stop investigating the 1995 case of Lisa McPherson.
Her family claims church leaders watched her die after they took her to a hotel room following a minor car crash.
Scientology leaders have not commented on the allegations. However, the church has filed its own suit demanding Mr Rathbun's claims be dismissed.
Ms McPherson reportedly claimed she needed psychiatric care following the crash, WTSP-TV reports.
The Church of Scientology opposes most modern psychiatric methods, instead believing that spiritual healing is the proper treatment for mental illness.
Instead of going to a hospital, Ms McPherson's family says, she was taken to a nearby hotel where she was treated by church members.
She died 17 days later, sparking protests from her friends and family outside the Clearwater headquarters of the church.
The church was originally charged with felonies in Ms McPherson's death - practicing medicine without a license and abuse of a disabled adult, according to the TV station.
Marty Rathbun, the former second-in-command at the Church of Scientology, claims that the church then set to work influencing local leaders to drop the charges.

Eventually, Medical Examiner Joan Wood changed Ms McPherson's cause of death from 'unknown' to 'accidental' and the local district attorney withdrew the criminal allegations, according to WTSP.
However, Mr Rathbun claims, the McPherson campaign cost the church more than $30million.
Some of the money was spent showering the medical examiner's attorney Jeff Goodis with gifts, Mr Rathbun alleges in a federal lawsuit.
The treatment led Mr Goodis to influence the medical examiner to change the cause of death, according to the former leader's sworn testimony.

Jeff Goodis denies the allegations.
WTSP reports that the church also hired former prosecutor Lee Fugate to lobby the leaders justice system.
Mr Rathbun alleges that Mr Fugate had illegal out-of-court discussions with several local judges.
Mr Fugate refused to comment on the allegations, but said the charges were 'shocking.'
The judges involved have refused to comment.
