Why Full Moons
= Less Sleep
Full Moon = Fewer Zzz’s?
If you find yourself tossing and turning tonight, you’re not alone. Several studies have shown that people truly do sleep differently around the full moon.
A team at the University of Washington found that people went to bed later and slept 46 to 58 minutes less in the days before the full moon.
A Swiss study published in Current Biology observed that during the full moon, participants took five minutes longer to fall asleep, slept twenty minutes less overall, and experienced about thirty percent less deep sleep.
