These Zodiac Signs Are the Most Likely to Be Insomniacs

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, Gemini may also find that their attention flits around in their head when they attempt to lay down to go to sleep. Once their heads hit the pillow and they put their phones away, they might immediately feel like they're missing out on something and feel compelled to hop right back onto social media to check. When there's nothing, that doesn't really make the impulse go away, and when there's something, they feel justified in staying up longer and essentially train themselves to stay on their phones all night long. The FOMO is real, and it can take a strong will (or extreme exhaustion) to fight this impulse.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

Virgos are known for being perfectionists who tend to overthink everything, and that definitely doesn't stop at bedtime. Often, their schedules are so packed that they don't leave themselves enough time for sleep, and even when that isn't the case, sleep doesn't always come easily for them. Just when they're about to drift off, they might remember something they need to do and hop out of bed to add it to their to-do list, or suddenly feel the need to double-check something they might have gotten wrong. It doesn't help that Virgo can also get some of their best thinking done when the world is quiet and they're finally left to their own devices.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

"Revenge bedtime procrastination" is the urge to reclaim your sleep hours as free time after being trapped by obligations all day. If there's any one sign that's likely to get caught up in RBP, it's Sagittarius. As much as they might enjoy some rest and relaxation when they need it, they otherwise find sleep pretty boring, and would rather do something fun or productive with their time—often to their regret the following day. Sags are highly likely to have messed up sleep schedules, with energetic minds that refuse to quiet down even when they finally do decide it's time for some shuteye.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Of all of the signs of the zodiac, Aquarius is the one best known by refusing to play by the rules. They do their own thing based on what works for them, and whoever said that you have to go to bed at a reasonable hour? They do things on their own schedules, not allowing obligations or social norms get in the way of what they feel called to do, and somehow, that mostly works for them.  Without any outside interference, they're likely to have an utterly bizarre sleep schedule driven by insomnia and passion projects, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Pisces has a reputation for being dreamy and creative, and often, those are precisely the things that prevent them from being able to get to bed when they plan to. They're usually the most imaginative and productive in the evenings, closest to their dreaming hours, but the excitement tends to stick around even once they'd decided to wind down, and inspiration keeps their minds running wild. It doesn't help that they're also major overthinkers during the day who are likely to replay scenarios—especially ones with strong emotional ties—over and over in their heads. They're sensitive, after all, and the littlest thought can keep them up all night.
