Why do Scorpio risings struggle with insomnia and nightmares?

RedSpiritNova

Hey, ever notice if Scorpio risings tend to have sleep issues, like insomnia, trouble falling or staying asleep, and nightmares?

It's funny, I knnow two guys like this—one's my ex and the other's my current boyfriend—and they're both Scorpio risings. Kinda wild, right?

My ex used to say the only way he could get any sleep was by having a drink, and the nightmares he'd describe were super vivid, almost always about some natural disaster or big emergency.

And my current boyfriend? He really struggles to fall asleep and usually only clocks about 4 or 5 hours before he's up for the day.

Actually, I do have a non 24 hour circadian rhythm! But I’ve never really connected that to astrology in particular. It’s actually a pretty common trait with autism and ADHD.

My mom's a Scorpio rising, and wow, she doesn't sleep much! She only gets about 4 or 5 hours a night. She even wakes up two or three times during that short sleep. Crazy, right?

Not the nightmares, but the insomnia for sure. And then I only get five or six hours of sleep, tops. Even with the melatonin. Maybe it's because of having two kids under two. That was rough.

My daughter is a Scorpio rising, and she struggles with sleep issues and nightmares. I truly wish I could take these challenges from her.

Scorpio rising here, and I find I don’t sleep at night unless I take a prescribed sleeping medication, you know, it’s one of those things, before I started the medication, I used to have to drink just to get to sleep. I don’t take naps either, and my nights are filled with very vivid dreams, along with nightmares pretty much every night.

I'm a Scorpio rising and I can't sleep without weed or medication. I've had trouble sleeping since I was a small child. I've also dealt with nightmares more in my adult life. I can't stay asleep for more than a few hours either. When I wake up, I either don't fall back asleep or it takes me an hour or two.
