How does the moon affect the human body?

Question

In regards to fertility, menstruation, childbirth, hair growth (head hair), mood swings etc

It definately affects the human body in some way

Answer 1

If you were bit by a werewolf recently, you might turn if its a full moon.

Answer 2

i ddint know that!

Answer 3

When the moon is full, there's more light at night.  That's about it.

There is no significant tidal effect on the human body.

Answer 4

I think it has an effect on your mood, but I have no clue about these other things.  It has a an effect on the tides from the ocean coming up onto the beach, so I'm sure it probably has some type of effects on our bodies.  

Answer 5

The moon is actually what causes tide in your blood. If it's low tide on a new moon, make sure you don't stand too long, or you could pass out from lack of bloodflow to the brain.

Answer 6

I believe you start to sprout hair all over your body, and your teeth grow into fangs...Watch An American Warewolf in London/Paris to find out more....not nice!  But I did like 'Hello David'

Answer 7

When the Moon is shining bright, and you're trying to sleep, well, sleep deprivation can mess you up.

Doctors and nurses will tell you that all the really weird stuff happens on full moon nights.  However, the statistics show full moons to be rather average.

But speaking of werewolves, when the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released, hospital admissions went down for two weeks.  Apparently eye strain isn't something you go to ER for.

Answer 8

I heard a theory that the brightness of the moon effects our natural instincts to want to hunt or forage instead of sleep.  It would be an evolved trait however, and not something directly caused by the moon.  And it's only just a theory.

Answer 9

hey all dudes knowing nothing that answered, there is got to be an effect on the human body, it is statistically proven that, for instance significantly more deliveries under full moon nights.

it may simply be the fact that in evolution, females giving birth had greater chances that their baby survives if it was done under a full moon due to the extra light it provides

Answer 10

No effect, even if you're moonstruck, or mooning.
