Scorpio’s symbol is the Scorpion. Scorpions are intriguing and distinctive. Scorpions are primarily active during the night. They love the night for several reasons. Some of these reasons are:
- This behavior helps them avoid the heat of the day in hot desert environments.
- They are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light.
I’ve discovered after knowing many Scorpio born family members, that sleeping can be challenging. Being a sign that shares similar characteristics of a nocturnal creature like the Scorpion, I can see why.

Some of the difficulty falling asleep could be due to deep thinking or having an active mind, which is often associated with “racing thoughts.” Below are some holistic tips that may help relax the mind and improve your ability to fall asleep:
- Mindfulness Meditation~ This is a technique that helps you focus your mind on the present moment. Before you fall to sleep use this technique to calm your racing mind and create a sense of mental relaxation.
- Journaling~Write down your thoughts and concerns in a journal before bedtime. This can help externalize your thoughts, making it easier for your mind to let go of them as you prepare for sleep.
- Limit Screen Time~ Reduce exposure to screens, such as smartphones or computers, at least an hour before bedtime. The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
- Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)~Systematically tense and then release each muscle group in your body to promote physical and mental relaxation. This can help alleviate tension and quiet your mind.
- Meditation Music~Music can act as a sleep aid by promoting deeper sleep stages and reducing disruptions during the night. This can contribute to an overall improvement in sleep quality. You can watch our Ocean Dream Meditation to help promote a calming state of mind prior to going to sleep.👇
