- I'm Nick Jonas and this is everything I do "In A Day".
[soothing music]
[bell rings] I wake up anytime
from around six a.m. to about six p.m.
If it's a six a.m. kind of day,
usually I'm awoken by my alarm, which I set two alarms:
one at the time I need to be up,
and one three minutes after the time I need to be up.
The sound of the alarm is what wakes me up in the morning.
Music is too soothing.
I listen to music, actually, while I'm sleeping.
Max Richter, Sleep songs.
Great album.
My most listened album on Spotify, actually,
'cause I listen to it every night.
I have pretty vivid dreams
and then I like to go and look up what they mean.
So most of my first Google searches of the day are
what does this dream mean?
Was I dreaming about an organ?
Not an organ in the body
but a musical organ. [organ music]
I'm sorta like a spring-outta-bed kinda guy.
I run right into the bathroom, use the restroom,
and then look in the mirror, and look at the damage.
I take into account all of what happened the day before,
the night before, and see how this affected my general face.
I brush my teeth first.
Not a lot of people do this in the morning,
and we can tell.
Make sure you do that, please.
I take about 12 1/2 minutes in the shower.
Some days, I'm running behind, it's more like 2 1/2.
I apply some moisturizing facial cream
that also has caffeine in it.
So it awakes the skin and it's soothing, too.
It's a cooling cream.
I then take a similar eye roller,
and I go like this under each eye,
and then I do just the corners up here.
Following that, I will apply lip balm.
I then take my cologne,
and do a spritz here, a spritz here,
and a spritz in the center
so that I can reapply after my clothes are on.
Following that, the first thing I do
is I dry off the remaining parts of my body
that are potentially still wet.
I blow dry my hair.
And then once that's done, I take my ring off.
I don't like the hair product in the ring.
I pull the product out.
First, I'll get forward with it,
and then up with it, and then like that,
and then I exit the bathroom.
I then grab some underwear,
preferably clean underwear, then put on some socks.
It's either no-show socks,
those, no-shows,
or it's long socks.
And if I put the long socks on
and I realize I should have been wearing short socks,
I get really frustrated.
And I have to then get back in bed, reset the alarm,
and just wait 'til the next day to get it right.
So basically, socks are the most important part of my day.
I sometimes turn on SportsCenter
and I'll watch the highlights.
I'll get the Top 10 in.
I love when there's a quirky Top 10 play,
something about like a penguin kicking a soccer ball,
or it usually has to do with a cat running
on the baseball field.
That's the kinda content I'm into.
If I don't find it on SportsCenter, I go to my feed.
And I look through there
looking for a funny cat video or dog video.
My Instagram feed is an important part of my day.
Probably lying if I said it's not one of the first things
I look at in the morning.
And then, emails.
I have a lot more junk emails than important emails.
I also have a dog now which is new,
so in some cases, I will sacrifice my morning television
or Instagram feed time to try and stitch up
whatever pillow he's decided to destroy that morning
or clean up whatever accident he's had in the house,
the joys of being a dog owner.
The gym for me is either in the morning,
while I'm fasting,
or I'll work out in the afternoon if there's a window.
And in that case, it's usually some kind of sport
or physical activity where it's a workout
but combined with something that I really enjoy.
So that can be anything from golfing,
playing some baseball,
kicking a ball around backstage at the venue,
or playing tennis.
I really like tennis.
And then I either make myself a cup of coffee
or I go to the nearest Starbucks, politely ask the barista,
may I have an iced Americano,
or potentially a hot Americano,
depending on the season and the temperature,
or if I feel like mixing things up,
I might do a cappuccino.
After the coffee, I get into some kind of vehicle,
and I drive to a location.
The location can be anything
from a recording studio or a meeting.
In one of these scenarios,
I'm in the car and I'm drinking the coffee
and I'm listening to a musical theater show.
I like listening to musical theater in the morning
'cause it makes me feel at peace and inspired.
I will finish the coffee
and look at my watch over and over again
to think about when my intermittent fast will be over.
I will then think about what I'm going to have for food.
And in most cases, it's some kind of greens with a protein,
and I'll think about that for four hours.
[clock rustling]
And then lunch usually comes at about 12:30, 12:45.
And I eat the boring meal that I've allowed myself to eat
thinking about how much better an Italian hero with turkey,
with ham, salami, lettuce, pickles, olives, oil and vinegar,
and a bit of oregano would have been.
And I think about that until dinner comes
and I still don't eat the meal that I wanted to eat.
I eat this other shitty meal
that I'll feel better about in the morning.
Immediately, after lunch,
I will, most times, go back onto my phone and call someone.
The priority list is my wife,
obviously, if I'm not with her,
one of my brothers, probably my little brother
that I don't see that much, or my parents.
And then after that,
this is the real exciting part of the day,
I get to the venue.
It's a show day.
I sit down and I have,
waiting for me in my dressing room, two things:
a bunch of posters that I have to sign that day,
and it ranges from 50 to 1,000 posters,
depending on the day,
which pretty heavy workload.
But then next to that is a little treat
and it's ants on a log:
celery, almond butter, raisins.
And I eat about six of those
which takes me about 4 1/2 minutes.
And at this point, I will make myself a drink
and it's either going to be Villa One reposado
with a little club soda and an orange wedge,
or I'll drink a cold and refreshing Coors light,
sort of a combination of my childhood,
memories of my childhood with an ants on a log,
and adult things.
And then I just go and I meet a lot of people.
We have meet-and-greets,
and I meet like 400 people, maybe,
and I say, hello, how are you?
Thanks so much for coming.
I hope you enjoy the show.
Let's take a picture.
They leave and we do that about 450 times.
I have dinner just after the meet-and-greet.
So I come back to the room
and usually, it's a grilled chicken, some vegetables,
maybe a little brown rice,
or it will be a salmon or something.
And there are times,
and this is mostly on days off, where I indulge.
In those cases, I'll have a chicken Parmesan,
or gnocchi pesto, Indian food.
I love Indian food and Greek food.
Pizza.
I love all food basically.
This point, I turn on some Bollywood hits,
and I listen very loud.
I get loose, a couple dance moves,
and find that the energy of the music,
the drums, everything really inspires me
and gets me excited.
I will then, at times, post one of these.
I'll be doing a dance and getting ready for the show.
So I get back to my room, I change into my show threads.
Louis Vuitton is the designer I work with
for this part of the tour,
so I throw that on.
I then reapply the hydrating gel awakening cream
both to my face and to my under eyes.
I do another spritz of cologne.
I put my in-ear monitors in,
I do one more dance
to one of the Bollywood songs I'm playing.
I walk to the prayer circle.
We say a prayer or give thanks to a higher power.
So everyone speaks from their heart
about what they're thankful for and shows gratitude.
We then say this thing where we go,
when does happiness begin?
And we say, right now,
and then we walk to the stage.
And at this point,
I will walk into my little cubby under the stage
and I will apply this throat spray,
that's sort of is like a glycerine for your throat.
It makes you feel really good.
I walk up to this platform
which then lifts up in the air.
I give a couple fist bumps to people,
and we do the show.
Post-show, I get in the car.
I think about the fans,
how grateful I am that they are with us
and still with us,
and then I play this game with my brothers
which I invented called Toronto.
It's a fun dice game and it's very simple.
One day, I will share it with the world the rules,
but it's not quite there yet,
so you'll thank me once you play this game.
And then, I like to go out.
I'm a very social butterfly.
Spend a lot of time with my brothers, obviously,
but outside of that,
lots of friends here in L.A. and New York
that I like to spend time with, and of course, Priya.
My family has grown quite a bit.
Priyanka's family will come
and cook great Indian Food for us as well
so it's really nice,
especially if we're in the Northeast.
My routine when my wife is around
is far more interesting and better.
My life is more enriched, my life is better as a whole.
I get home, we have some time,
we'll put on a movie,
maybe a Netflix show that we're watching.
We got our dogs now so some cuddle time is important.
If I'm not with Priyanka,
I will call her for sure and say,
this is all what happened today.
At this point, I will have get back to my room,
whether I'm at home or in a hotel,
put SportsCenter back on hoping for some more funny content.
If there's not that,
if it's more Lebron James highlights,
I go, cool, that was just like yesterday.
Before I go to bed, I will wash my face,
I will apply, yes, ultra moisturizing cream,
and sometimes even the Tom Ford serum.
It's just a simple oily serum
which is really nice to rejuvenate the skin.
I will brush my teeth for approximately 70 seconds,
do a little spit spit, rinse, reapply the lip moisture.
My bed attire is basically just my boxer briefs,
and that's it.
I get really warm when I sleep so I have to keep it light.
Basically, I plug my phone in
and I sleep starting on the left side,
and then by the time I wake up,
I'm usually on my right side.
But I sleep very well.
I sleep hard.
It takes a lot to wake me up.
And I repeat this everyday.
This is my existence.
