To play an adult film actress in Boogie Nights, Nicole Ari Parker paid a visit to a porn set with Burt Reynolds and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It’s a far cry from her role in And Just Like That, now in its third season, where she’s a socially connected mother of three. Parker’s on-screen evolution from chaotic to controlled is mirrored in her life and bedtime habits. She went from scrolling Instagram and watching late-night news to listening to ocean sounds and prayer meditations. Her nighttime skincare routine is something to behold. In short, she says, “I do everything.”
WHEN DO YOU START GETTING READY FOR BED?
I tend to catch up on my emails and rummage around at night. We just moved into a new house in Nyack, so I’ll have my private moments at night wondering if I should let go of a particular pair of leggings. I would say I start winding down around 9 or 10.
