Tori Spelling is sharing her simple life hack for getting kids ready in the morning. 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum revealed a way she and youngest son Beau—whom she shares with ex Dean McDermott—are getting a few extra minutes of sleep every morning. And it's quite simple: the 7-year-old gets dressed for school the night before.

"It's so bad," Tori joked on the Aug. 26 episode of her misSPELLING podcast. "I've gotten so lazy with my youngest one—‘cause there's so many—that at night I put him in his clothes for the next day. And convinced him that it's cool to do that."

Tori—who also co-parents children Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, and Finn, 11, with her estranged husband—explained that she's even rationalized the practice with Beau, noting, "he's good at that."

"So, he has dinner, he takes his bath—sometimes," she said, before quickly adding, "I'm just kidding he always takes his bath."

"But then I'll be like, 'Hey, dude,'" she continued, "'You know, it'll save like an extra five minutes if we get dressed now and then you can sleep later.'"

And more importantly for Tori, she also benefits. As she put it, "I can sleep later, wink wink."

The 51-year-old then quipped to her podcast guest Debbie Gibson, "Am I a bad mom?"

But Debbie was quick to assure her that she was far from it.

"I think if you're getting through it," the "Lost In Your Eyes" singer said, "you're good."

Tori has never shied away from being very candid with every aspect of her life, including how she and her children have been doing since she filed for divorce from Dean in March after nearly 18 years of marriage.

"The kids are doing well and Dean is doing well," Tori told E! News in April. "We're all hanging in."

She added, "We'll always be a family. Whether there's a title on it or not so, it's just time to move forward."
