Let’s talk about sleep schedules. Some might find Mark Consuelos’ early-to-bed, early-to-rise routine a little unconventional, but hey, it works for him. On a recent episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, aired on July 24, Kelly Ripa opened up about her husband’s quirky bedtime habits. As she joked, Mark’s sleep schedule could either leave you scratching your head or nodding in agreement—it’s that relatable.
How to Get Mark to Bed Early? Documentaries!
Now, here’s the secret weapon Kelly uses to get Mark to hit the hay early: documentaries. According to Kelly, "The key to getting Mark to bed earlier than his usual 8 or 9 p.m. bedtime is to put on a documentary he’s been dying to watch all week." It’s a clever trick, right? Kelly, 52, shared this tidbit during her return to the show after a short break, giving viewers a glimpse into their real-life routines.
Mark’s Unintentional Nap Adventure
In a hilarious moment during the episode, Mark revealed that he accidentally dozed off while watching TV the night before. Kelly, ever the loving partner, decided to play along by turning off all the lights and the TV. When Mark woke up at 10:30 p.m., he was understandably confused. It was one of those moments that remind us how funny life can be, even in the simplest situations.

Why Mark Sleeps So Early
But here’s the thing: Mark’s early bedtime isn’t just random. There’s a method to his madness. You see, Mark wakes up at 4 a.m. every morning to kickstart his day with some serious fitness time. Between his acting gigs, hosting duties on the morning show, and his passion for health and wellness, Mark stays busy. His early morning workouts are non-negotiable, and that’s why he needs those extra hours of sleep.
On July 19, Mark showed off his fitness chops during a segment on Live when he went shirtless while submerging himself in an ice bath alongside producer Michael Gelman. "I want to get one of these," Mark told Kelly after spending six minutes in the freezing tub. "I’ll use the tub we have and fill it with ice." Clearly, he takes his fitness seriously, even if it means braving icy waters.
Mark’s dedication to staying in shape also shone through in a recent Instagram post. On July 23, Kelly shared a steamy poolside photo of her husband shirtless. She captioned it, "It’s that time of year again," showing just how proud she is of his efforts.
Challenges of Mark’s Sleep Schedule
While Mark’s early mornings are great for his workouts, they do come with their own set of challenges. For one, his habit of nodding off during long movies isn’t exactly ideal. As Kelly joked, "You cannot watch Oppenheimer—that’s all I know. It will take you eight times to get through Oppenheimer." Mark playfully agreed, saying, "It will," and added with a laugh, "They’ll make a lot of money off me." Their banter was classic, showcasing their easygoing relationship both on and off camera.
Barbie Mania Hits Live With Kelly and Mark
Speaking of movies, the couple also discussed the release of Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Kelly, a huge fan of Barbie, admitted she’d been in "Barbie tribute attire" for weeks leading up to the film’s release. "Before the actor’s strike, we had the whole cast on, so I had all these outfits lined up," she said. "I was like, 'I might as well maximize my look.'" To celebrate Barbie, both Kelly and Mark donned pink outfits during the July 24 broadcast, proving that despite their different sleep schedules, they’re still a dynamic duo both onscreen and off.
