Model, social media influencer, and podcast host Olivia Ponton recently shared details regarding the physical toll of her demanding travel schedule, highlighting a period of sleep deprivation followed by substantial recovery.
Taking to her Instagram story, Ponton described a grueling stretch of travel that disrupted her rest. “This past 2 weeks I’ve barely been sleeping taking 8 flights in 8 days rlly set me back a few sleeps,” she wrote, adding that she had also resumed cardio workouts.
To illustrate her recovery, Ponton shared screenshots from her sleep tracker, which documented two consecutive nights of extended rest. On the first night, she recorded approximately 10 hours of sleep with a 90% sleep efficiency rating. The following night, she logged 9 hours and 6 minutes of sleep with a 91% efficiency rating. The tracking device rated her restfulness as “good” on both occasions, with deep sleep and REM sleep metrics falling into positive ranges.
Sharing her routine for catching up on rest, Ponton noted, “10 hours & 9 hours my dream. I think the magic touch is sleeping in a freezing room and wearing a sweatshirt while falling asleep reading.
The recent travel flurry included several notable stops. On Tuesday evening, she posted a selfie from an airplane, noting it was her seventh flight of the week. Prior to that, she attended the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, where she walked the pink carpet in a silver dress. Hours after the event, she shared a car selfie upon landing back in New York City.
Alongside her modeling work, Ponton hosts the “Boooked, Blonde & Busy” podcast, which recently featured an episode with actors Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett discussing the upcoming Colleen Hoover adaptation, “Verity.”
Ponton has previously spoken publicly about her health, including her past struggles with anorexia. During previous discussions, she emphasized how she has learned to prioritize adequate sleep and health measures in her daily routine.
On the personal front, Ponton has been romantically linked to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow since December 2024, with the pair spotted together at various events over recent years. In August, Ponton was seen attending day nine of Bengals training camp, joining the quarterback on the field after practice, though neither has publicly confirmed the relationship.
Meanwhile, Burrow and the Bengals enter their upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens following a bye week. The Bengals hold a 3-2 record, placing them one game behind the division leaders in the AFC North, where Baltimore, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Cleveland Browns are currently tied for first.
