Byrne, photographed at Rucola in Brooklyn, spends her Monday mornings doing chores and recovering from the weekend’s mayhem. Waking up early is one of the things that makes Rose Byrne feel most productive, and mouth tape is one of the things that helps her get the best night’s sleep. “I’ve become fanatical about nose breathing.
