According to astrologers, your date of birth, or zodiac sign, generally determines your behavior. This also has an impact on every aspect of your life including sleep time. Therefore, the optimum amount of sleep you need could be based on your zodiac sign alone.
This makes sense if you consider that different people need a different amount of sleep to perform optimally.
We have heard of people that can do without sleep for a whole day. You’d think this might lead to lethargy and tiredness, but they still function normally. They carry out their tasks without any sign of fatigue.
Some others need just a few hours of sleep. They are not necessarily workaholics though. They are simply wired that way.
Apparently, the disparities are all related to your zodiac sign. But this is hard to reconcile when the medically approved sleep-time for most adults is at least 7 hours.
It is a sure bet you have wondered about that 7 hours minimum. One of the things that make the world interesting is its unpredictability. Science cannot make rigid rules on how we should lead our lives. Sometimes, things happen that defy medical or scientific explanation.
As far as unusual sleep patterns are concerned, the stars have come to our rescue. So because of your date of birth, you might need more or less time than the norm. Basically, the idea is not to panic and think you are suffering from insomnia. It’s the stars controlling your sleep pattern.
So what is the ideal amount of sleep you need based on your zodiac sign? Read on to find out.
