Sweet dreams are written in the stars. Embrace your celestial sleep style, and what you can do for your best slumber yet.
Whether you’re a night owl who thrives after midnight or someone who dreams of an indulgent bedtime routine, the stars could hold the key to unlocking your ultimate slumber.
Talking to Bensons for Beds, astrologer Joanne Jones said: “It’s important that we tune into aspects of our personality that might have been decided for us, rather than fight against them, particularly when it comes to something as vital as sleeping.”
Here’s what your zodiac sign reveals about your unique sleep style — and how to make the most of your celestial quirks.
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Always on the go, Aries may struggle to wind down, thrive on minimal sleep and often wake at the crack of dawn.
They need to slow their roll with a nightly wind-down routine. Dedicate an hour to calm activities like reading or meditating.

Wooden furniture can create a grounding, natural vibe that helps an Aries tap into a calming energy, such as this nkuku Kankad Mango Wood Table Lamp from Anthropologie, £140.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Tauruses live for cosy, indulgent comfort, prioritising rest above all else. Their steady approach makes sleep a non-negotiable part of their day.
Joanne recommends elevating their sensory experience with dim lighting, plush bedding and lavender-scented oil diffusers for a tranquil retreat.
Try this White Ceramic Electric Diffuser from Dunlem, £26.
Gemini (21 May – 21 June)
Joanne says Geminis are unpredictable sleepers, toggling between being night owls and early risers depending on their ever-changing moods.
Try keeping a notebook bedside your bed to jot down any thoughts swirling around, such as this Tiny Diary for Tiny Thoughts from Urban Outfitters, £7.

Cancer (22 June – 22 July)
Sensitive to their environment, Cancers often sleep best at home. Restless nights and vivid dreams are common, especially during the full moon.
Make space for nightly journalling or meditation to let go of worries before bed.
Cancerians should treat themselves to a soft down pillow for a dreamy, luxurious feel. Such as these duck feather side sleeper pillows from Dunelm, £20.
Leo (23 July – 23 August)
A social butterfly at heart, Leos often burn the candle at both ends, leading to irregular sleep patterns.
They need to make bedtime an event. Luxurious linens, candles and indulgent pre-sleep rituals can motivate Leos to prioritise rest.
We love this celestial lamp candle from Urban Outfitters, £18.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Joanne explains that routine-loving Virgos are detail-oriented, even about sleep. Their habit of overthinking, however, can sometimes disrupt their perfect plans.
They should use a sleep app such as Sleep Cycle to analyse patterns and make adjustments that satisfy their analytical side.

Libra (23 September – 23 October)
Harmony is key for Librans, but unresolved worries can keep them up at night. They thrive with a balanced schedule.
Joanne recommends a visually stunning bedroom — think velvet headboards, fluffy throws and maximalist flair — to soothe your senses before bed.
We love these Sophie Faux Fur Cushions from Anthropolgie, £38.
Incorporate bold, joyful design for a bedroom that feels like a dream.
Scorpio (24 October – 21 November)
Scorpios are nocturnal souls who find peace in the solitude of night time but are prone to insomnia.
Joanne recommends quieting your mind before bed by journaling and keeping your room dark and distraction-free.
Blackout curtains and dark, moody furniture will set the stage for deep rest.
Try these stylish blackout linen curtains from Dunelm, from £9-£55.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Joanne reveals that spontaneous and thrill-seeking Sagittarians often skimp on sleep in favour of late-night adventures.
Try gentle yoga to relax your body and mind before bedtime.
Also, add inspiring artwork to your walls — perfect for dreaming about your next adventure.
This cherry print from Urban Outfitters is adorable, £10.

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
Productivity-driven Capricorns value a structured sleep routine but can struggle to shut off their ambitious minds, according to Joanne.
Stick to a dependable bedtime ritual to make the most of your restorative sleep.
Try investing in a premium mattress and supportive pillows to enhance a wellness-driven lifestyle.
Try this Slumberland Air Memory Mattress from Bensons For Beds, £649.99.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Aquarians are hard to predict and can resist routines, staying up late due to overthinking or curiosity.
Joanne recommends going tech-free at night to avoid falling into digital rabbit holes.
She adds that a personalised space with meaningful decor will help Aquarians feel relaxed.
This Levi Three-Tier Storage Shelf (£49) is a great way to showcase your favourite books, plants and trinkets.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
Emotional and imaginative, Pisceans often have vivid dreams or trouble switching off at night.
Incorporate breathing exercises or guided meditations to shed the day’s emotional weight, suggests Joanne.
Try using the Headspace app, which has guided meditations and calming stories.
