The shape I’m in: RTÉ journalist Conor Brophy

RTÉ journalist Conor Brophy has a secret weapon: the power nap. On the days he is working on Morning Ireland, he’s up at 4.45am and will usually find time to squeeze in a reboot snooze.

“I try to grab a 20-minute cat nap in the middle of the day and I’ll be right as rain. That works for me,” he says.

During the week he gets between six and eight hours a night, but will catch up over the weekends. “When you are up at 4.30 or 4.45 it is difficult to get a full night’s sleep in... Towards the end of the week I get a little big lethargic.”
