Assertive Aries loves to keep fit - but don't exercise vigorously before bed, as you'll set the adrenaline flowing. A spot of horizontal jogging is OK, of course...

Steadfast Taurus is fond of a nightcap. Try hot chocolate or malted milk sometimes, because even a small dose of alcohol daily is habit-forming, and a depressant.

Gregarious Gemini can't resist partying into the small hours at the weekend. But this plays havoc with the body clock. To beat insomnia, get to bed on time.

Sensitive Cancer is a worrier. Make it a rule to worry about things only when you can fix them. That rules out half your problems - and at 3am, nothing should be bothering you. Sort it out in the morning!

Lazy Leo likes to lounge in bed long after the alarm goes off. But too much sleep is as bad as too little - you'll be tired during the day, and reluctant to go to bed in the night.

Virtuous Virgo, that's not a cigarette in your hand, surely? Nicotine is always bad for you, but last thing at night it's an undesirable stimulant.

Refined Libra enjoys good food. Just don't indulge too much before bed, because digestive juices play havoc with sleep.

Sexy Scorpio should turn off the TV and concentrate strictly on your partner. What do you need a TV in the bedroom for anyhow?

Optimistic Sagittarius must cut down on caffeine. Three cups of coffee in the morning can cause palpitations and sleeplessness many hours later. Switch to water.

Movie-addict Capricorn can't resist the late-night shows. But if you crash out on the couch, you'll never get to sleep when you finally make it to bed.

Intellectual Aquarius treats bed as a place to catch up on reading and thinking. You're missing the point, brainy: bed is for sleep.

Emotional Pisces has to unwind properly. Start your bedtime routine - teeth, milk, pyjamas - an hour before you hit the sheets, and leave your worries beyond the bedroom door.
