Here’s Why Gayle King Hardly Ever Sleeps

Gayle King is a hardworking newswoman. As she recently said to The Cut, she sets her first alarm at 3:22 a.m., though “I tell you, I’m happy if I look at my Under Armour band and it starts with a 4.”

She also credits the fact that her kids, Kirby and William, are both grown. “I always say they’re employed and potty trained — so it’s not like I have to run home to take care of the kids or fix a meal for anybody but myself. You know what my dinner was last night? Honey Nut Cheerios with bananas and raisins. I was so proud of myself; cooking is not my forte.”

She adds, “We also get CBS homework every night, so I’ll start looking at that … Of course, I’ll also watch the news, and then I watch my shows. I love ‘This Is Us.’ And lately I’ve been up until 11 or 12 at night, because you just start watching something and you can’t stop. So I don’t have a set bedtime.”

WHAT?! She still looks damn good for getting a few hours of sleep a night.
