[Star Wars] How does Palpatine have time to keep up his lightsaber skills?

We saw him in RotS – Palpatine not only had lightning fast reflexes but swordsmanship superior to Council Masters who probably practice every day with hours of field experience. But as Chancellor – heck as the grand pupeteer of both sides – wouldn't he be way too busy to practice and keep up his skills? 

I've asked this in an EU forum a while ago before and someone suggested force sleep meaning he doesn't need to sleep and someone else suggested force memory but I couldn't find aything on that. What do you guys think?

We don't see him in a movie until 50, so that gives him a pretty large amount of experience under his belt at that point. As for sharpening and keeping up with his skill that's left vague in both legends and canon, but in TCW he had time to sneak out twice and go do things in the Sidious persona that required him to leave planet so that makes me think he had more than enough time to practice for a few hours every few days or so.
