Was wondering if the ascendant can tell you what motivates you to wake up, how you are when you are awake, etc.

Also wondering if the 12th house can tell you what type of sleep patterns you have, what helps you sleep, what your environment has to be like for you to go to sleep, etc.

When I go to bed, I have to have dark and quiet..no TV or radio or computers on. Quiet is the most important. I also toss and turn a lot before getting comfortable and I need a lot of room to feel good when falling asleep...aka I like to sprawl all over the bed.

Actually - I have a leo ascendant with Saturn in Virgo conjuncting it. I use to be a morning person. For the most part - I am pretty happy when I wake up. I think about the things I need to do for the day. So many things go through my mind when I wake up.

Not sure how that relates to my Libra 12th house, though....interested in hearing some others' opinions on this.

I take pride in getting up late and sleeping late. I only get up early if I really have to and that can range from 4 am - 8am depending on my work. Things have changed because of baby which is also very unpredictable but that is definitely to my advantage.

With Leo ruling the 12th, i think it "illuminates" the nighttime for me. I'm usually awake til 1 or 2 in the morning. Definitely a night owl. Also, when i was a kid i always needed a nightlight to feel safe and when i was in my teens i always kept the tv on all night (with the sound off) bc i still needed some kind of light on near me to fall asleep. I've just recently gotten out of this habbit at 21 years old and can now sleep through the night in complete darkness, although i'll still often leave my laptop or tv on to light up the room while i'm first laying down then let it them turn off by themselves after a certain amount of time so the whole room is dark. Also I tend to remember most of my dreams and they usually always have some meaning for me to decipher from them that has something to do with my life. I've also had some experiences with lucid dreaming and astral travels at nighttime in my sleep.

I definitely wake up as my Taurus Asc. I need to have time to get ready make coffee, shower,gather anything that needs to come with me to work, I like to take my time on my make-up. I set five alarms every night if I'm working, and hope that I don't snooze, because I'm super grumpy pants if I can't go my own speed in the AM.

My 12th house is Aries. I find that it takes me forever to fall asleep, my mind is running and my body isn't always tired enough. It's almost like I'm fighting sleep.

If I've gone to bed early ill usually wake up half an hour or more before the alarm clock, look at it, fall back asleep, repeat this a couple of times until like 20-30 minuts after the alarm clock rings, fantasize about not going anywhere that day and then finally get up. Once im up, im up.

I can't fall asleep if I am nervous or upset. If I am, I watch movies-usually until sunrise.

I need it DARK in room and I need A LOT of legroom. I have issues sleeping next to other people unless they are still and quiet.

My bedroom is my "safe house" and usually very tranquil. Lots of plants, candles and books. I need it clean and tidy and I always sleep with windows open no matter the temperature.

I like music when going to sleep but it doesn't need to be relaxing music or low volume. Any will do. I need my imagination to be free to basically dream while awake. Very vivid imagination!

When I wake up, I don't want ANYONE talking to me... at all.
I want zero stimulation until I've gathered myself. My mom drove me crazy when I was young because she just never stopped in the morning. Blah, blah, blah, blah...

I avoid showering if I have to be somewhere in the morning. Cause if I do, I am showing up w/ wet hair and no make up on, on time. Or I am showing up late.

There have been times where I tell myself I am going to shower before work or class but then I run out of time.

I need about a half hour to sit and just drink my coffee. If I don't have time to do that. I better have a redbull. So that way I can get ready and get caffeinated at the same time. I try to keep a stash of redbulls on hand and save them for those mornings I oversleep.

I can get along with you just fine, as long as you don't intagate me before I've even had my coffee.
My mom drives me nuts in the morning. I'll be going for my first cup of coffee..."So what are you doing today? By the way you need to do this, Oh Stawr, your hair!! You need a shower"
Geez can I have my coffee fist, or course I'm going to take a shower captain obvious!
As Jenna Marbles says "I have so much to do in the shower, I need to have a cup of coffee first."

If I really need a shower and don't have time, I will be cranky.

Waking up with out having to be anywhere early I often wake up around 8:30ish.

~NIGHT~
I am more of a night person now that I work in the evenings and only have morning classes twice a week.

I think I went to bed around 11 last night.

I notice that when I let my blood sugar go up and down I can get so drained.
For example yesterday I had one packet of oatmeal for lunch before I go on an observation for class. It wore off a few hours later and I was starting to feel dizzy. After the observation I got Chinese food with my sister. I was in such a food coma from that meal. I got home at 8, laid on the couch for a couple hours and could barely keep my eyes open. Could of gone to bed then and there sometimes I'll fall asleep on the couch for about an hour.
Lately I don't fall asleep right away and will do unspeakable things to fall asleep.

I have Leo rising with the Sun in H1. I was born at 5:00 am and am a morning person. I'd like to get up early and don't like sleeping late. I do now though because I often stay up very late.

I like to ease into this dimension and the world after night and being out of body. I meditate every morning. I like quiet. No turning on the tv or hearing news, no phone calls. Don't like hearing the phone ring or knocks on my door early in the morning! I've gotten into the habit of repeating sacred names when I wake up and before going to sleep. I attribute these quirks to an active 12H.

Anyways, I have Capricorn Rising and I tend to wake up at almost the exact same time every day and I never even set an alarm. I often can tell myself to wake up at a certain time and I end up doing just that! As soon as I'm up, I'm up and can't really go back to sleep. And then I start thinking about all of the things I need to do. There is always something really structured about my mornings. I feel the best when I get a lot of things done in the morning. I also don't feel as energized sleeping past the single digits. Waking up at 10 almost ruins my morning. I'm generally functional in the morning and easy to deal with, as long as my plans aren't being messed up.

Now, I never thought about the 12th House influencing our bedtime/late night ways. But, it makes total sense!

At night, just about anything goes for me. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are in my 12th. I think Saturn tries to lay down some structure. I'm always thinking about what I have to do the next day and planning it in my head (which is probably why I fall into such a disciplined rhythm in the morning). I often say to myself, "I should go to sleep at so-and-so time." But, Uranus rebels against any structure at night. I can never keep a nightly routine. I can go for a little while, quietly having tea and reading before getting to bed at 10:30. Then, I can get in the habit of staying up, dancing to music by myself in my room, at 1 in the morning! So, late night is always unpredictable for me. Neptune's influence, I think, is that I love listening to music before I go to bed. Movies and shows are somehow the best when watched at midnight. And I also think it's responsible for my super-deep sleep (also sextiles my Scorpio Moon). It's like a coma, most of the time, though not nearly as heavy as when I was a kid/teenager. But, still, the only things that wake me up, besides my own body, are alarm clocks and persistent shaking/yelling.

And reading helps me relax and sleep at night (12th in Taurus/Gemini with Chiron in Gemini). But I've never found it easy to fall asleep because I'm too alert and mentally hyper (Aries Sun/Gem AC/Merc-Uranus square).
