If the sound of your early morning alarm going off each day makes you want to cry, spare a thought for news presenter Sylvia Jeffreys, who detailed her day-to-day routine on Tuesday.
Starting with a snap time-stamped 4:11 am, (I honestly feel like I’m going to vomit from sleep exhaustion just typing that), Jeffreys shared a step-by-step of her weekday morning rituals, starting with being dressed, rugged up in a coat and having just arrived at the Channel 9 office.
Watch: Sylvia Jeffreys and Pete Stefanovic send a big wedding thanks out to Today viewers. Post continues…
Incredibly, even that early in the morning Jeffreys looked ultra-glowing and well rested, which confirms my belief that life is cruel and unkind to mere mortals.
The following image, posted eight minutes later at 4.19 am shows Jeffreys reading the morning newspapers and catching up with what’s going on around the world.

HUH - my hubby gets up at 4am every day for a 6am start - he works up to 14hrs a day & he sure as hell doesn't get paid what Sylvia does. Look I'm not denying the fact that she works hard but I'm not going to "spare a thought" for her when there's plenty of us who work the same hours (and more) daily!
No, she isn't performing a "civic duty", she is doing her job, which doubtlessly pays better than the wage of most Australians. How about we celebrate people who perform real civic duties and sacrifices, rather than a rich celebrity who gets out of bed early?
.... and has make up people and hairdressers fluttering around, plus a wardrobe at work???
Oh the hardship!
Agree, there are plenty of hard working mortals that get up at that time every morning whether it be to go to work; take their kids to swimming; or perform carers duties.....etc.
In fairness, a civic duty is not mutually exclusive to it being a job.
But I generally agree with your sentiments. Starting work at 4am is disgusting - but I'm sure she's paid well for her efforts!
