Full Moon Madness or Lunacy. Do You Think Such a Thing Really Exists?

Hi, All!

I do. I'm wondering what others think? I always feel a little bit weird around the time of a full moon. Just not quite as "in-sync" as I might be...

Any others, too? Or, not? Perhaps some people might be more susceptible to it than others?

What about policeman who might be witness to the way that people are at certain times of the month, or healthcare professionals?

All opinions are welcome. It is, after all, a matter of opinion. Perhaps logical opinions and expressions about the way people feel and think about it might be helpful and beneficial to others?

This thread, will no doubt, get excellent exposure on the Internet when people search for the subject!

Thanks!

Does anybody know if the natural rotation of the planet, and obviously here the moon are markers for our body clocks to know what to do?
I learned in My psychology class that humans arent Natrually supposed to just sleep at night, but rather when we're tired. But we've made it so that we're awake during the day (generally speaking) because that's when everything is more visible. I always feel awake at night, unless I just haven't had sleep, and I've found that for me, It's easier for me to fall asleep during the day. Not sure why that is though.

Hello phsohappy

Nice comment

Maybe someone can inform us why there is such a thing as a night person and a morning person?

I was always lead to believe that night time (darkness) ment sleep time, a form of hibernation for the human body due to the lack of food around in the winter time

Or that just one of those old wives tales that life is full off?

Well that could be. Animals just sleep whenever they need to, doesn't matter what time of day it is. Why wouldn't it be the same fo people?

i didn't see the entire show, but i remember one of my cousin's watching something on tv awhile back about how people used to sleep and something about there was some evidence that people would get up and work or hunt in the morning, sleep when it was hottest in the afternoon, get back up and work in the evening again for awhile, and then sleep again. not just like a nap in the afternoon, but more like regular sleeping periods in the afternoon and evening. i think it was for a hunter-gatherer society. has anyone else ever heard anything about it?

i feel like a "night person." no mtter how tired i am during the day, i usually wake up more at night. and no matter how early i try to go to bed, if i have to wake up early, it's like torture.

I really don't care for Pink Floyd (maybe repressed memory from tennage years) but I just notice for the first time the words.

Eclipse - The Dark Side of the Moon Lyrics - Pink Floyd Lyrics

eclipsed:to obscure; darken; to obscure the importance, beauty, fame, etc. of render dim by comparison; surpass; overshadow.
"Websters Standard Dictionary 2006"

So the sun gives us all but pales by comparison to the moon. Check your dates, the next is coming up soon.

i worked in nursing homes for years,when it was a full moon the whole place would be up in arms,clients bashing each other with walking sticks,zimmer frames thrown across rooms,general havoc insued...

i dreaded the night shift on a full moon.

Hi, All!

I think that the next full moon is on November 2, 2009. Is that correct? If so, then how about we really pay attention to how we think and feel then and report about it here?

Thanks!
