ADELE ROBERTS
“Ok, so I get up at two in the morning”, Adele Roberts casually informs me, as if she’s not relaying truly horrifying information. “Then breakfast, in the taxi by three, into work by half three.” I’m so gobsmacked, my jaw nearly makes direct contact with the floor of the BBC canteen. Still calm, still matter-of-fact, she explains, “I try to sleep at least twice a day and get at least six hours across the two sleeps”. Now I knew she’d be an early riser, what with her four to 6.30am slot on Radio 1, but I can’t help being equal parts fascinated and appalled by this gruelling nap schedule.
