Your Ideal Bed Time Based On Your Zodiac Sign
A lot of your preferences in life are determined by astrology and your horoscope. Your zodiac sign says a lot about your personality, the way you live your life and how you react to different situations, so it's only natural that knowing these thigns can also help you determine how much sleep you need on a regular basis.
Not everyone is the same and need the same things — some signs looooove to stay up late and sleep in until the afternoon, while others of us prefer to retire to bed early and start the morning feeling refreshed and well-rested.
Continue reading below to find out what the BEST bed time is for each zodiac sign.
#1 Aries:
Aries, your unstoppable childlike energy can keep you going for days.
Sure, once in a while you'll pass out, retreat to your cave and sleep like a baby, but for the most part, you have more energy than a manic episode.
Your life is a rat race, and your sleep is a rest race.
#2 Taurus
Because Taurus needs at least seven hours of sleep, this sign should retire for the evening by 11 p.m. Taurus usually needs extra time in the morning to feel fully awake, so going to bed by 11 p.m. and starting the wake-up process at 6 a.m. is best for this stubborn sign. Taurus also needs a gentle wake-up to set them up for a good day, according to Thrive Global. "Make sure your alarm clock is gentle; a rude awakening doesn’t sit well with the bull."
#3 Gemini
Gemini has a bad habit of staying up WAY too late. Sometimes, she has so much on her mind that she simply can’t sleep!
But she prefers to get up early to get a head start on her day, so she tries to sleep early if she can. The best bedtime for her is 11 PM, that way she can do what she wants at night but still not be miserable in the morning.
#4 Cancer:
Homebody Cancer needs a nurturing sleep space and at least eight hours of shuteye to feel rested. This means that Cancer should be drifting off to dreamland by 11 p.m. at the latest, according to Ask My Oracle. Cancer actually does better on between nine and ten hours of sleep, but getting that much sack time isn't always realistic.
#5 Leo
Like a lion, you spend a lot of time getting in those hard naps.
After all, a sign as vain as you are needs a shitload of beauty rest. It's how you stay looking so damn fly.
You may be an extroverted sign, but you design your entire living space around solitude and relaxation because pampering yourself is so important to you.
#6 Virgo
Virgo is methodical and always planning ahead. To get the head start she needs in her day, she likes to get up REALLY early. The best bedtime for her is 8 PM.
Yeah, I know... seems early. But Virgo is calculated and needs to make sure she's at peak energy first thing in the morning to get everything done so the day is tackled first thing.
#7 Libra:
In order to be their best badass, peacemaking Libra needs to get to sleep by 11 p.m. to get a solid eight hours, Thrive Global noted. Libras spend so much time seeking balance and trying to make everyone love them that they are mentally exhausted by the end of the day, and they need sufficient time to recharge — preferably in a beautiful sleeping space.
#8 Scorpio:
Honestly, for all I know, Scorpios retreat to a coffin in the basement of a haunted house to sleep every day until dusk.
Their private lives and personal habits are a mystery to me and everyone else, including their intimate partners.
Are you guys even real, or are you holographs that just come and go as you please?
#9 Sagittarius:
Sagittarius is a TRUE night owl. She gets all her best work done in the middle of the night and honestly, she has the most energy when she's able to sleep in until noon and get her day started mid-afteroon.
She has a hard time falling asleep early because she has so much that she wants to fit into her day. She prefers to sleep at 2 AM.
#10 Capricorn:
Capricorn turns into a pumpkin at midnight, and Thrive Global noted that this sign consistently sleeps seven to eight hours, no matter what time they go to bed. This means that if the Cap has to be up at 7 a.m. for work they need to be in bed no later than 12 a.m. to be at their level best the next day. To get the best sleep Caps should make sure they are warm and cozy at night.
#11 Aquarius:
Aquarius, with a mind as active as yours, you'll be lucky to sleep a wink.
But then again, you get your best ideas when you're dreaming.
Out of all the signs, you're the most likely to have a notepad next to your bed so you can wake up and jot down all your brilliant thoughts.
And when you wake up (early as hell), you'll make 'em a reality.
You're saving the world with your genius.
#12 Pisces
Pisces is NOT a morning person. At all. EVER.
Her bed is her favorite place, and she HATES having to leave. But she also likes going to bed early and sleeping as much as she can. Honestly... she just loves sleep in general. All the dreams.... ahhh.
The best time for her to go to bed is 11 PM.
