Al Roker: Daily Routine

Al Roker wakes up at 3:15am for some “me time” — and the rest of his day doesn’t slow down from there.

For NBC’s Today weather anchor, Al Roker, waking up at 4am would practically be a sleep-in. Instead, he wakes up 45 minutes earlier in order to get some time for himself. “I like to call it ‘me time,'” he explained to The Hollywood Reporter. “I could get up probably 45 minutes later than I do, I just don’t like to rush. That’s when you make mistakes, you’re in a clumped state.”

On a typical day, Roker is up at 3.15am to get ready for his day. He showers, shaves, gets dressed, and jumps on the phone with his Today Show meteorologist to go through the day’s weather forecasts. During the call, he’s also multitasking, packing lunch for his son and himself and drinking a kombucha — Roker doesn’t drink coffee or tea.
