Explaining why her practice routine is so thorough, Holmes added, “One time I didn’t do it, and I was in the middle of a scene and I just said the whole line except the last word. I couldn’t remember it, and I made something up, but it didn’t make sense.”

During her recent chat with Fallon, Holmes said she keeps up with her busy Broadway schedule — eight shows per week — thanks to her solid napping abiltiies. She shared that “early on” in her Broadway return, she scoped out the theater’s basement and found a couch that could accommodate her intermittent resting routine.

She’s a deep sleepe,r too; Holmes noted that she once accidentally napped during an ongoing meeting with her castmates.

“I get worried in between shows. That’s why I set the alarm, because the show could start, and I wouldn’t know,” she told Fallon.
