According to the Dominican Monastery of St. Jude, most nuns in monasteries rise around 5 a.m. to prepare for reading of morning prayer. This is followed by an hour when they return to their chambers and participate in private prayer and reflection.
Nuns in movies and TV often seem to do little but scowl and whack disobedient children with a ruler. In the real world, nuns' duties cover a diverse range. Some nuns devote themselves to prayer and contemplating God, while others help the poor, teach children or care for the sick.
Active nuns work every day, often outside of the convent. Contemplative nuns stay focused on worship and prayer, while cloistered ones live in the convent with the same contemplative focus. An order can have both types of nuns.
Each night, these nuns allow themselves no more than three hours of sleep. Their calling is an extreme one: to stay inside the walls of their convent and spend their days and nights in prayer and silent contemplation.
Nuns and girls also reported only taking half-body bath during period due to lack of hot water. All these call for a need to improve water and sanitation facilities in schools and nunneries so that nuns and schoolgirls do not compromise on menstrual hygiene and skip classes.

They don't speak, except during short work periods, recreation time in the evening and during mass, when they sing and pray aloud. Their hymns sound sweet as twenty-odd women – ages ranging from 33 to upwards of 80 – sing in harmony, and their prayer is deep and heartfelt.
The community becomes the principal family of these women because once they join they are permitted to visit their relatives only once a year if they are Italian. If a nun is from a foreign country they can visit family once every three years. These women must learn how to adapt and live together.

Regulations for nuns' swimwear are far from universal. According to Sister Lorraine from Ask a Catholic Nun, a social media-based forum run by the Daughters of St. Paul, some cloistered nuns never swim at all, while those of other orders may choose to wear fairly modern suits.
