Miley Cyrus’s daily routine, as she has described it in interviews from 2020 to 2025, starts happy: she calls herself a morning person, coffee is a must, and no calls or meetings happen before her workout of Pilates, Ashtanga yoga or singing on a treadmill. The rest of her documented day is music, gardening and tidying at home, and she says she is kind of a night person too.

Key takeaways

  • Miley Cyrus told Vogue in September 2025 that she is a morning person and kind of a night person too, and that coffee is a must, People reported.
  • On The Joe Rogan Experience in 2020 she said her team doesn’t book calls or work meetings before she works out.
  • Her training mixes Pilates, Ashtanga yoga and singing on a treadmill, as in a video she posted before a February 2021 Super Bowl weekend show.
  • At 12 or 13, during Hannah Montana, one Friday began with makeup at 5:30 AM, then interviews from 7:15 AM to 6:15 PM, she said in a 2023 TikTok video (Variety).
  • In a lab study of 116 adults, ordinary room light in the eight hours before bed shortened melatonin by about 90 minutes compared with dim light (Gooley et al., 2011).

What is Miley Cyrus’s daily routine?

Miley Cyrus’s documented routine is a set of habits rather than a published timetable: an upbeat start with coffee, a workout before any work, then music, gardening and organizing at home. She has never published her clock times, so the hours below are our estimates around what she has said.

On a tour or recording day all of this moves. This is a home day set in Los Angeles, built only from habits she has named.

Is Miley Cyrus a morning person?

Yes, by her own account, with a twist. In a September 2025 interview with Vogue, reported by People, she said she is a morning person and, unfortunately, kind of a night person too, and that if she had to pick one, it would be morning.

She put it this way:

I am in the best mood the second that my eyes are open

She added that she used to get frustrated with friends who slept too long, and now understands that switching on as fast as she does is as hard for them as switching off is for her. Only a questionnaire can place someone on a Body Clock Type, so we don’t label her; the Owaves quiz can place you.

Does Miley Cyrus work out every morning?

Her workout comes before work. On The Joe Rogan Experience in 2020 she said, as an NBC News Group roundup reported:

We don’t do calls or work meetings before I work out.

She also told Rogan that if she doesn’t work out, she isn’t a great person. The roundup, from November 2024, lists years of Ashtanga yoga, Pilates with core work, hiking, and the swimming, battle ropes and resistance bands seen in the “Flowers” video.

Two habits are pure Miley. In February 2021, preparing for a Super Bowl weekend show on TikTok, she posted a six-minute video of herself on a treadmill singing Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl” and her own “Angels Like You,” The Blast reported. And in a 2024 W Magazine interview she said she mostly trains in heels, with a mantra borrowed from athletes: practice how you perform. The point for the rest of us is the order of the day, not the shoes: movement is booked first, before the inbox can claim the morning. Our guide to the best time to exercise looks at what research says about morning and evening sessions.

What does Miley Cyrus drink and eat?

Coffee is the fixed point. She told Vogue in 2025 that coffee is an absolute must, and described one morning’s cold brew made with regular milk. A morning coffee fits the body clock well: in a 2013 study of 12 healthy sleepers, measured at home with a portable sleep monitor, caffeine taken even six hours before bed cut total sleep by more than an hour (Drake et al., Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine). Our caffeine cutoff guide explains how to time the last cup.

For food, she told W Magazine in 2024 that she lives an extremely clean lifestyle. She has not published a meal plan, so the lunch and dinner on My BodyClock are generic, home-cooked meals at estimated times, not a menu she has described.

How did Miley Cyrus’s day look as a child star?

It started before dawn. In her 2023 “Used to Be Young” TikTok series, Cyrus read out a Friday from when she was 12 or 13 and starring in Hannah Montana: up at 5:30 AM for makeup, then interviews from 7:15 AM to 6:15 PM, with a magazine photo shoot in the middle, Variety reported. The next day ran from 7 AM to 7:30 PM, and Sunday was her only day off before filming resumed on Monday.

Looking back on touring in the same series, she said that a show at a high level of intensity needs recovery to match:

If you’re performing at a certain level of intensity and excellence, there should be an equal amount of recovery and rest.

Her adult routine, as she describes it, has room for that: a protected workout, time in the garden, and evenings at home.

Why does Miley Cyrus garden and clean?

She has explained both in her own words. In a 2025 interview with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, reported by People, she called gardening a very personal process and compared it to a practice like yoga: getting out into nature, using her hands, and having a creative outlet that has nothing to do with fame.

She told Vogue the same year that organizing and cleaning bring her joy and never feel like a chore, and that she has even earned the name Queen of Pristine. For a whole routine built around tidying, see Marie Kondo’s Daily Routine.

What can you take from Miley Cyrus’s day for your own body clock?

Three parts of her routine are about timing, and none needs a pop star’s budget:

  1. Move before the messages. She protects the workout by putting it first. A fixed morning block also gives the day a regular anchor, the first step in our guide on how to fix your sleep schedule.
  2. Get outside while it’s light. Gardening, set here in the late afternoon, is daylight time. Light is the main signal that sets the body’s master clock, as the US National Institute of General Medical Sciences explains.
  3. Dim the last hours. For someone who is also a night person, the evening is where the day can drift late. Gooley and colleagues (2011, 116 adults aged 18 to 30) found that ordinary room light before bed delayed melatonin onset in almost all of them and shortened melatonin by about 90 minutes compared with dim light. Lower lights and quiet tasks such as tidying help keep the night on time.

Your day on My BodyClock

The day above on My BodyClock is a home day for Miley Cyrus in Los Angeles, with every estimated time marked. It opens at about 7 AM with a bright mood and coffee, puts the workout first from about 8:30 AM, keeps calls and meetings until after it, and gives the afternoon to music. Late afternoon goes to the garden, the evening to dinner, tidying and time to unwind, and sleep runs from about 11 PM to 7 AM. Getting ready, the drive and winding down are Flow, so the whole 24 hours is planned.

To build a day like it, find your Body Clock Type with the Owaves quiz, then lay out your own movement, light and wind-down blocks in Owaves: My BodyClock on the App Store. On Android? Join the Android waitlist.

As the time indicator sweeps the day, each block’s Photo Note takes the center — the same way the day plays out on My BodyClock in Owaves.

FAQ

Yes. She told Vogue in 2025 that coffee is an absolute must and described a cold brew with regular milk. Keeping coffee in the morning, as she does, leaves plenty of time before bed for caffeine to wear off.
