The second season of her NBC show,A Little Late With Lilly Singh, airs in 2021.
Singh lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Scarbro.
That is what I am doing.
Most recently she partnered with plant-based protein brandLightlifeto offer up advice directly to her fans on Instagram.
Really, if I had to describe my sleep schedule, its adaptable, she says.
I start my internal dialogue of, Why dont I just sleep on the sofa?
Do I really have to walk upstairs?
Its so hard to do…. ## I attempt to wash my face every single day.
God knows I try.
But I wash my face.
I brush my teeth withHello toothpaste, and it has activated charcoal.
No matter how many times I clean my sink, it is full of charcoal.
Im one of those people who is constantly putting something on my lips.
So before I sleep, I typically use theLaneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
It makes my lips feel awesome at night.
I put a little bit on my pillow, and thats kind of how I get ready for bed.
And then I become a slave to my dog, because he takes up the entire bed.
I dont even have the option to scroll.
So although I am an Internet-y person, I have avoided doing that during almost the entire pandemic.
I go to bed whenever my schedule allows me to go to bed.
I will do that because thats what it requires.
I always make a run at do whats possible in my schedule, and I roll with the punches.
Really, if I had to describe my sleep schedule, its adaptable.
Its adapting to what I need to do.
There are a lot of great white noise apps.
And then in the background its playing seven songs that Im really liking at the time.
I never turn that part of my brain off, except when Im meditating.
I am a big believer of scheduling inspiration.
Or let me watch a new genre of film Ive never watched before.
Or let me go to a Broadway musical.
Every single time Ive gone to a Broadway musical, I have come home with 15 ideas for videos.
Scheduling moments like that, of seeing new things, hearing new thingsits really important.
Season one shot two episodes a day.
We shot 96 episodes in three months.
The days were pretty long and exhausting.
It doesnt matter how tired I am.
I am on, I will perform, I will get into a different mindset.
So I will leave my greenroom, I will go to show one.
After show one, Im wired.
Im really good at turning on and off and knowing when I need to be on and off.
Id go home and Id be tired and I would go right the hell to bed.
Im also not a good napper.
Im the throw in of person where Im like, Im going to take a 20-minute nap!
And then I wake up four days later.
I cannot nap.
And I also definitely take a pretty long time to fall asleep.
If there ever was a time when I really needed sleep, I will make the time to sleep.
And I think this is not something that we teach kids to prioritize, which we should.
Anyone reading this who wants to take away one thingits that you should really value self-care.
