You might be a night owl or an early bird, but it turns out that the stars have their say when it comes to your sleep patterns. And no matter whether you are fighting against the natural tendencies of your zodiac sign or not: Depending on the zodiac sign, there are a certain number of hours of nightly sleep that keep your body balanced and healthy.
Of course, it’s better if you listen to your body and the stars – even if that means going to bed earlier than you would like to secure those extra minutes – because you might feel sick, or tired, or rather feeling hostile when you get too little sleep.
Good news – we’ve figured out how many hours it takes you each night, depending on your zodiac sign, to avoid being the angry, bitter person.
Aries needs 4+ hours of sleep
Aries need more sleep than they get. The typical Aries gets four to five hours of sleep a night, but they will likely need more.
Just like their symbol, Aries, Aries want to be ahead of everyone else and rush into things headlong.
Because they have so much energy … if not used properly, they have trouble sleeping.
If you are a sleep deprived Aries, you can get a few more hours of sleep by sleeping in a cool room and listening to soothing music to calm your active mind.
Aries should also work out excess energy to get a good night’s sleep.
If four to five hours of sleep are okay with you, then go ahead and conquer the world in all the free time you have while everyone else is asleep.
Taurus needs 7+ hours of sleep
For the fixed zodiac sign Taurus, the quality of sleep is more important than the quantity, but Taurus gets along best with seven to eight hours of sleep.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet that represents all things beautiful. Of course, bulls sleep well in rooms that are tastefully furnished or at least very hygienic.
And since the Taurus is stubborn, an argument before bed can severely affect the quality of sleep because he cannot let go of his frustration long enough to vanish into dreamland.
Taurus’ addiction also means that they should stop drinking alcohol or bothering with electronic devices a few hours before bed.
Taurus also need a gentle wake up to prepare for a good day. Make sure your alarm clock is gentle; a rough awakening does not go down well with the Taurus.
If you are a Taurus and are having trouble sleeping, then you should try remodeling your bedroom into a visually appealing, cozy cocoon.
Twins need an average of 6 hours of sleep

The Gemini are also ruled by Mercury, which promotes everyday expression and relationships.
Twins tend to email out wondering if they made the right decision or if they didn’t get an immediate response (because twins are all about communication, and their communication is prompt and detailed) ask yourself if the person ‘hates’ you.
To get a good night’s sleep, it is important for twins to disconnect from electronic devices before bed.
Turn off the phone and leave it in another room. An open window is also a good idea. The best way for twins to fall asleep is with a simple breathing exercise “
Twins may want to try cognitive mixing to promote sleep.
