The Shape I’m In: Joanna Donnelly - ‘I’m an insomniac and have been since puberty’

IF ever a picture captured the calm after a storm, it was the one posted online recently by Met Éireann’s Joanna Donnelly. 

In the shot, we see her husband entering the bedroom carefully balancing tea and toast the morning after the day Ophelia battered the country. She had just woken up after a badly needed night’s sleep.

“I left work on Sunday night about 11pm. I went home and did some more work and I went to bed at 1am. I tossed and turned and didn’t sleep very much,” she says.
