Question

Why do people have trouble sleeping during a full moon?

Answer 1

Who knows, maybe because they're stupid, is my guess, but I'm just guessing and not sure of that!  Maybe they believe that they can't sleep well on that particular night/evening.  Who knows, except they themselves, I don't have any trouble sleeping at any given point in time and I can't explain that either.  

Answer 2

They say people are more alive/wild in a full moon

Answer 3

When was this study done?

Answer 4

Nothing affects a persons behavior more than what they believe. If you believe the moon can affect your behavior, then anytime you feel 'antsy' and notice a full moon, you connect the two.

I for one do not have any trouble sleeping during a full moon. I only have trouble sleeping thru a large cup of coffee.  

Answer 5

The only possible logical reason is that it's brighter outside.  I have trouble sleeping with the lights on.  An illogical reason is that there are lots of superstitions surrounding the full moon, but yes, they are superstitions.  That doesn't stop people from falling for them though.

The moon has no physical effect on your body during a full moon that it didn't have during any other phase.  It is no closer to the Earth during a full moon.

Answer 6

it is a myth, it could be in your head but they are doing a study of how the moon effects the human mind.
