Aqua trait, or coincidence?

My late mother would often suffer from sleep problems. The actual deep sleep wasn't the problem, it was falling asleep. She would toss and turn for hours. I never thought much about it astrologically .. and just thought it was her.

Recently, two Aqua girlfriends of mine have mentioned how they have troubles falling asleep ... and now I'm beginning to look at this as an Aqua condition.

Both of these women say something similar = when they lay down to sleep, all the thoughts they keep at bay during the day that pertain to personal issues, coming flooding into their mind.

I look at Air Signs and see that Gemini's and Libra's do often talk about thier personal issues .... beit differently .. one babbles endlessly, while the other dissects to find logic. Aqua's on the other hand, rarely express openly concerns they have personally .. so ....

It seems likely that this sleep problem must be an Aqua trait, for certainly since you're mental oriented, there HAS to be some point in time that issues get sorted through, and since it isn't done within the community, it must be taking place during quiet, alone time.

Do you guys find yourself hashing over your life-concerns once you've put your body to rest? Do these thoughts crowd your mind and demand clarity to be sought before you are allowed to fall asleep?

The Aqua-guy in my life has sleep issues too. Has a VERY hard time falling asleep, and only sleeps for a few hours each night. He's up WAAAY into the wee hours of the morning, and is usually awake to catch the sunrise.

Where his boundless energy comes from, I will never know - but oh, do I ever appreciate it! I'm a ZOMBIE without my solid 8 hours!!

I takes me quite a while to fall asleep, unless its been a long day. But generally its hard for me to fall asleep. I know people who can be speaking to you one minute and snoring the next, I find it so odd.

This cannot be a coincidence...my Aqua has big problems falling asleep. He'll be tired as hell but nothing seems to shut down. Most nights he'll be watching TV whilst I'm long snoring....and if he does fall asleep he's up again during the wee hours of the morning...then he has his proper sleep for two or three hours before he was to wake up in the morning. It's so bad he teases me, and possibly is even jealous of me being able to fall asleep so easily. I tease back advising him to clear his conscience as this may help 😉 but honesly I've never known him to fall asleep easily - he has a brandy before going to bed, says it helps. Oh and I even got him some naturual tranquilisers supposed to help - NADA - did jack shit!!!

The aqua guy I was with told me that he had a hard time fallign asleep, and for similar reasons...he said that he would think too much before going to bed, and so he would stay up watching tv, etc...but the nights I stayed over- I was the one having a hard time falling asleep and he would sleep like a baby!! I tend to think too much as well, and my thoughts keep me awake, or even when I am falling asleep, It's like I'm still thinking...I'm a libra.

"Both of these women say something similar = when they lay down to sleep, all the thoughts they keep at bay during the day that pertain to personal issues, coming flooding into their mind."

"Where his boundless energy comes from, I will never know"

Definitely not a coincidence. I go through the same shit some nights.... the mind goes on over time and the cognitive process alone is enough energy to keep me up until sunrise. Its an annoying trait to have. Lately I haven't had that problem (luckily)... I'm knocked out cold 2-3 minutes after I hit the pillow.

"MMMMM! Tell the chinese that I said to leave tibet alone, or I will come over there and subject their eyes and minds to my recycled material art."


FUNNY you say that...for the Olympi games security is much tighter, but this asian guy Ive met, every time we pass through security, he says, "You know they do this in case one of those CRAZY Tibetans come."

OMGosh...how true!
My Aqua guy has the SAME issue.
He practically does not sleep at all in days in a row...
He ll sleep an hour or two here or there... But never heard him sleeping for 8 hrs stretch..I always get shocked to see his ample amt of energies w/o sleeping at all! He basically keeps reading stuff/working till the wee hrs..
Once he mentioned to me when i was least expecting it "I always long for a night when i can sleep in peace, for once..."

Also, someone mentioned "Guilt"
Thats the exact reason he gives me sometimes, for his behavior...
Guilt he cannot really aptly explain from what..

It's kind of like a switch with me. Either I feel like falling asleep and I do or I don't feel like it then stay awake for days. When I don;t feel like sleeping I just open the mental floodgates and become all manic and crap. But if I want to fall asleep I just forget about everything or workout until my body's reached the point of sheer exhaustion. By the way I have a tendency to overdo things and suffer from burnout more than most people. It's in my file.

People who suffer from depression have a tendency to experience sleeping problems.

Wow - you just blew our minds YO ^^^^ !

LOL ^^^^

I have an Virgo Sun and Aqua Moon, and I have always had problems falling asleep since I was very young.......My mind sometimes doesn't want to shut off...and i literally toss and turn for literally 2 hours before I succumb to sleeping but the other night i couldn't sleep and went to bed at 3:30am and then woke up at 6:00 am.....that day when I came home from a 10 hour work day plus another 1 getting home by 7:00 pm I was knocked out....I was exhausted and slept....not good....my clock is all messed up

other nights i would fall asleep .....only to wake up at 2:00 am and do some things and fall asleep at 4:00 am only to wake up at 6:00 am.....looking like crap and being tired

My Aqua hubby falls asleep faster than I can log out of my computer and get to bed, it must take him all of about 2 minutes, I'm so jealous.
