Or indulging in a bamboo duvet. Sound good Taurus?

Here is a sleep tip for each member of the zodiac.

All rest and no play is no fun, though too much play and no rest is trouble. Not your favourite word, though try and find a balance. Slowing down your mind before bedtime will do wonders for your sleep. Avoid scrolling social media or anything stimulating like caffeine and sugar an hour before you hit the hay. Good sleep will keep that fiery energy burning strong so slip on an eye mask and get your snooze on.

You love a treat don’t you Taurus, so how about indulging in bedtime? Deliciously soft bamboo bedding might be just what you need to drift off into cosy, blissful sleep. And tempting as that glass of wine and decadent cake maybe, switching them for herbal tea will set you up for a good, deep sleep. Dreamy!

It’s good to talk, isn’t it Gemini? Though it’s amazing to sleep! Try to cut down those phone calls and WhatsApp before bed and let your mind get quiet.

Swap one of those meals out this week for a new pillow! Yes Leo’s, you need a few early nights to keep that roar strong.

Put down the to-do list Virgo, after 7 pm it’s time to do nothing. Try and clear that busy mind before you settle in for sleep, you love a routine so here is one for bedtime! Run yourself a hot bath, wrap up in a fluffy towel and hop on the sofa for a bit of your time. Yes, you deserve it!

Bedtime calls for a bit of pampering for you lovely Libra’s. Relaxing with herbal tea and sweet-scented candles will help ease out of overthinking and into rest and digest.

Rest isn’t always your first priority though surviving on short naps will do you no good in the long run, dear sag! Creating a comfortable resting space will help you fire signs to manage those high energy levels. If you struggle to drift off, try placing some amethyst by your bedside table.

How you spend the last few hours before bed can make a big difference to how well you sleep. A soak in the tub and avoiding anything too stimulating will help slow down that busy mind of yours. Enjoy a healthy meal and swap any electronics for a good book. You will thank yourself in the morning.

Dreaming is your homeland, dear Pisces so set yourself up for a few early nights every week. You need more sleep than most signs to escape from the world and immerse yourself in possibility. Get things nice and snug with cosy bedding and pillows to drift off with a smile.

Sleeping routines and habits look different for all of us, though whatever your sun sign be sure to get enough to wake up feeling magic. And remember the wisdom of astrology is there to tap into whenever you need it.
