REBECCA Romijn has cut back on the wine since becoming a mom.

The actress and her husband Jerry O’Connell welcomed twins Charlie and Dolly in December 2008.

“I’ve had to cut down on wine drinking, big time. I’d fall asleep for an hour, and then be wide awake! Every once in a while, I’d toy with the idea of, ‘I can be a cool mom: a party girl at night and a mom in the morning.’ But I’d regret it every time,” she tells the July/August issue of Health.

“Because those girls wake up at 6 a.m. no matter what time you come home!

“Sleep is so important. But as soon as you become a mother, you’re always a little bit awake, because your one ear is always sort of listening.”

“After I had my babies and was struggling to lose that last bit of weight, I had to challenge my body in a different way. Bikram yoga was key,” she adds. “You sweat so much, you’ll lose poundage. Though honestly? I dread it every time.

“I really like listening to music when I’m hiking or exercising. I don’t like hearing myself breathe. I’m like, ‘Am I dying? I think I’m breathing too hard. This is bad. I’m sure this is bad. I should slow down.’ I really don’t do myself any favors.”
