‘I drink NINE cups of coffee every morning!’ Susanna Reid changes into her pajamas in Lorraine

Susanna Reid changed into her pink pajamas for an appearance on Monday’s Lorraine alongside Dr. Hilary Jones.

The 52-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter, who also sported an eye mask as she pretended to fall asleep, admitted that she drinks no less than nine cups of coffee every morning as she talks about the importance of sleep.

She said: ‘I thought it was eight cups of coffee, but they told me it was nine in the green room this morning.

‘I don’t finish a cup just a few sips here and there. No caffeine after noon, not even a cup of tea.

“I don’t overwhelm myself with naps, I just close my eyes and see how long it lasts. I’ve been getting up at 3:45 for years.

“I think if you have trouble sleeping, you shouldn’t dwell on it. I always think, if I’m in bed, I’m resting.

“I have to go to bed before my children because they are that age when they stay awake,” he concluded.

Shock! The Good Morning Britain presenter, 52, also sported an eye mask as he pretended to fall asleep.

Wow! She said: “I thought it was eight cups of coffee, but they told me it was nine in the green room this morning.”

Surprise: He added: ‘I don’t finish a cup just a few sips here and there. No caffeine after noon, not even a cup of tea.

Susanna recently told The Mail on Sunday’s You Magazine that she feels “tired most of the time” but is a big believer in the power of a nap and caffeine.

“I’ve been doing breakfast news for almost 20 years,” the announcer said.

‘Early starts are integrated into the job. From the outside it looks like a weird, weird, unnatural time of the morning, but to me it’s just work. You build strategies, habits and rituals to deal with it.’

Hilarious: Lorraine seemed a little concerned about Susanna’s coffee admission

One of his main coping mechanisms is to drink up to eight cups of coffee to get through the three-hour ITV breakfast show.

“Caffeine starts at 4:30 am,” Susanna added. ‘When I get here there is coffee on my desk and they keep coming every 15 minutes until 9 in the morning. Cups appear wherever you are in the building. I have about eight but then no more caffeine for the rest of the day.’

Afterwards, the mother of three will happily begin a nap, which can last up to two hours. “Having a guilt-free nap is one of the great joys of my day,” Reid said.

‘I don’t set an alarm. I only see what my body needs naturally… I’ve told myself that as long as I have seven hours in a 24 hour period, I shouldn’t be obsessed with having it all at once.’

As a journalist, Reid is diligent in his research, but there’s one area he doesn’t dare investigate too much: sleep.

“There have been a number of great sleep books recently and I make it a point not to read them,” he said.

“I am concerned that they will say that my sleep strategy is silly, that naps don’t count and that I have caused long-term damage to my health due to chronic sleep deprivation. I do not want to know!
