What time do they wake up on Love Island?

ITV reportedly explained that Love Island contestants don’t have a set wake up time in the villa, and that it “varies depending upon what has happened the night before.” This could be as a result of larger events such as recouplings.

However, 2016 contestant Kady McDermot claimed that, “The days were very long, and the producers never let us sleep in past 9.30am [because] that wasn’t entertaining.”

As for how they are woken up, previous contestants have suggested they are woken up by the big bright lights turning on in their shared bedroom in the morning. This is why you will see many of the cast wearing sunglasses indoors in bed.
