Does full moon affect you sleep?

Does full moon affect you sleep?

The moon affects us more than we might think. Even in ancient farming society, the light from the full moon was used for various outdoor activities such as harvesting, hunting and fishing.

Traditionally, the full moon has been thought to have supernatural properties, including the ability to summon sinister creatures and turn people into werewolves. Just the thought of it could induce insomnia, but several research reports suggest that sleep problems at full moon are not just a hoax.

Understanding how the moon affects us at different times is a whole science and I find it super interesting, because I feel the moon's cycles in different ways myself.

Thought of the day:

How are you affected by the full moon?
