The golden health advice Grant Denyer gave his Sunrise replacement, Edwina Bartholomew.

As Sunrise‘s weather reporter, Edwina Bartholomew’s schedule looks a little different to your regular 9-to-5 employee. Every morning she’s up at an ungodly hour, and she’s regularly travelling to destinations around the nation.

A job like that must be incredibly interesting, but there’s no doubt it could take a toll on your body and your personal life if you didn’t have structures in place.

As it turns out, Bartholomew is all over this. The 31-year-old has established several rules for herself to keep her life balanced and healthy, one of which applies to her relationship.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Bartholomew explains the "date night" arrangement she has with boyfriend Neil Varcoe — and it's perhaps more low-key than you'd expect of someone whose face beams out of Aussie TV screens every morning.

“My boyfriend and I have a rule that on a Friday night we don’t do anything,” she says.

“We very rarely go out on a Friday night. When I get home after a week away, we order take-out and watch a movie. That is about taking the time for ourselves and making sure we’re relaxed.” (Post continues after gallery.)

As far as relationship advice goes, this might not sound particularly ground-breaking — especially if Menulog n' movies is a regular occurrence for you and your partner.

However, busy careers and social lives can make it difficult to find some down-time to spend with your partner, even when you live together in the same house, so allocating a night in the week — or whenever works for you — to make this happen is a wise move

According to relationship therapist Isiah McKimmie, date nights — even simple, inexpensive ones like a night in on the couch — are vital to keeping a long-term relationship "energised and happy". (Post continues after video.)

“Without date nights, we can fall into a bit of a relationship rut and end up feeling more like housemates than lovers, as we get bogged down in the day-to-day chores and can stop feeling special to each other," McKimmie explains.

While it's nice to plan date nights where you actually leave the house and get dressed up all fancy, you can have just as much fun in the comfort of your own home. In your ugg boots, even.

Bartholomew also tells The Daily Telegraph she received valuable advice from her Sunrise predecessor Grant Denyer — who left the role after developing a chronic fatigue-like health condition — as to how to protect herself from the demanding aspects of the job.

“Grant gave me advice when I started that you do really have to look out for yourself. [He said] make sure you take time for yourself and that when you do have downtime that you’re actually recuperating, relaxing, sleeping, and making sure you’re catching up,” the journalist says.

Clearly she heeded Denyer's words — Bartholomew is in bed by around 7:30-8pm every day, choosing a cup of tea and a book over dinner and drinks on the town. She also finds opportunities to squeeze in a workout, even when she's on set.

"When the boys [crew] are setting up or packing down the satellite equipment I’ll go for a run," she says.

Love the dedication.
