Does the full moon really affect people?

I say no. The human body is 70 percent water but it will not be affected by the tides of the moon.

What might sound like old-school myths might actually hold some truth. People go to bed later and sleep fewer hours before a full moon and menstrual cycles seem to temporarily synchronize with moon cycles, scientists have found in two new studies.

@Science78 A team of scientists from the University of Washington, the National University of Quilmes in Argentina and Yale University show how sleep cycles seem to change with the lunar cycle.

@Science78 In another study, by analysing menstrual cycle records that 22 women kept for up to 32 years. They examined long-term data on menstrual cycle onset with data averaging a length of 15 years and including information from women both under and over age 35. They compared this data with fluctuations in the lunar cycles to see how the two lined up.

It's largely an urban myth. Studies indicate numbers are actually the same or lower during full moons. I have worked in emergency services, police departments in treatment centers. The full moon generates nothing but a lot of discussion.
