Zodiac z’s: Here’s how much sleep you need according to your star sign

Despite “coronasomnia” doing the rounds these days with an increasing number of people having reported sleep disturbances since the start of the COVID-19, improving your sleeping pattern is essential for overall health and wellness. 

In a recent article for The Sun, well-known astrologist Lisa Stardust and Bed specialist Time4Sleep teamed up to connect sleeping habits with people’s horoscopes. And it showed that the “magical” eight hours sleep a night varies greatly between the various star signs.
