When determining your ideal bedtime based on astrology, please know that some zodiac signs are early birds who love to get up at the crack of dawn. Others arenight owls who work best during the wee hours of the night.
Whatever it is, each zodiac sign has preferences for how they spend their mornings.And whether you wake up early in the morning fresh and ready to go or prefer to hit the snooze button a few times in a row, your preferences for our morningslargely depend on what time you sleepat night.
Early birds feel great about getting up early because, chances are, they had enough beauty sleep to recharge them for the day. Others who are night owls don’t get enough sleep, so they prefer to spend a little more of their mornings in bed.
A lot of your preferences in life are determined by astrology. 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 traitscan 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 andstart the morning feeling refreshed and well-rested.
