Since becoming pregnant Edwina Bartholomew’s bosses at Channel 7 have given her a sleep-in, but that doesn’t stop people being fascinated by the early hours she keeps.
The 36-year-old used to set her alarm anywhere between 2:45 and 3:30am, but now it’s a leisurely 4:30am.
“It sounds silly but that extra hour – anything out of the twos and threes makes a big difference. So I feel really different and good by comparison,” she told Mamamia.
Despite working early mornings for 15 years, Edwina has never quite got a handle on the whole “prep before bed” idea.
Breakfast is squeezed in-between moments she’s on screen. Post continues after video.
“Every morning it’s a scramble. I don’t know why,” she laughed.
She’s also a snoozer. In fact she factors a 10 minute snooze into her morning routine.
“Only one though, anymore than that and I am capable of falling straight back into a deep sleep. So I can’t press snooze more than once,” she said.

An hr seems so long for makeup, doesn’t it?
Not necessarily, they might be doing her hair as well. Plus stuff like fake eyelashes and so on can be a bit fiddly. It always takes me longer than I expect, even though I don't wear much makeup time seems to just get away from me!
