The Moon's Impact on Sleep
Despite following expert recommendations for a good night's sleep, some people still struggle with restlessness.
One potential factor could be the moon, specifically its full phase, which may affect sleep patterns.
Many people romanticize seeing a full moon, especially special events like harvest or blue moons, so perhaps the effects come from emotions, not physiology
According to Dr. Stephen Carstensen, a consultant in sleep-related breathing disorders, the expectation of being restless under a full moon can be enough to keep people awake.
Other factors, such as cell phone use, may have a more significant impact on sleep than the moon.
Author's summary: Moon affects sleep, but not as much as cell phones.
