I learned in My psychology class that humans aren't 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.Quote:

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) meant 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 for people?Quote:

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.:eek:
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.
I've heard of that place 'home for veteran warewolves' right :DQuote:

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!
Lol, night of the living... just:D
Salvo
As long as it doesn't interfere with mydancing naked under the pale moonlight then sure I will think about it :eek:
Trust me - You don't :), why keep it for just one night - I thought the consensus was it was normal to feel freaky on full moons :)
OK fine, dance naked!:p but, some one might want to see the video!:cool: I'll just plant some plants:) I hear they do better if planted during a full moon:rolleyes:Quote:

So my question is, why would the moon being lit up fully by the sun have any different affect than usual?
If it was a matter of the moon being closer to the earth at different times then I could understand some gravitational effect.

Hi, Stringer!
I don't know, and that's an interesting question that you've posted here.
So, are you not or are affected in some way when there is a full moon, please?
Thanks!
I really haven't paid any attention Clough. It does seem to make things get a bit more stressed though... maybe that is something I should pay attention to?Quote:

I don't know if I feel weird or anything with the full moon--the moon is actually pretty integral to my religion. You start things in the new moon (or the dark moon) and have them "come to light" in the full moon. You shouldn't attempt to start something new in a waning moon--that's for self reflection.
So I think a lot of people just go back to some of their pagan roots with the moon phases, and the full moon is a time of fulfillment--so it's that "something is going to happen" feeling that most people get--doesn't matter whether the something is good or bad. I think people get jittery with it, personally, which causes the rise in crimes and in injuries.
The full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the sun, so we actually see the moon, from the reflection. The new moon (I believe) is when the sun is reflecting on the otherside and we just see black.
The moon is always full (we just can't see it):rolleyes: but the circumstances of the light seem to have an effect on some of us.
I'm sure it's all different, but with AMHD members, it could be more interesting:cool: or not:rolleyes::)

My dogs are barking:eek:
Edit: this was from my back yard a couple minutes ago and there was a really cool aura around the moon, my camera wasn't good enough to pick it up.
So if I understand that right, we are in the third quarter?Quote:

Well, now I am confused, but I think I can figure it out. Since today is the 26th, we are in the first quarter. The diagram made it look like the 3rd quarter was the last befoe the Full Moon:)Quote:

You should be where I am when the full moon hits! I will notice that things seem to be going nuts and look around for the moon. I can almost guarantee the moon will be full or new.Quote:

Your head will collapse, if there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourselfQuote:

Excuse me... where did you find the bit about the collapsing head? I'm reading it and dying!! About 35 years ago, when one of my sisters would do something particularly stupid, I would say to them, "Would you please use your brain for more than keeping your head from collapsing???" I hadn't thought about it in years until I read that! LOL!!
The original movie "The night of the living dead" was filmed right in the area where I was born and raised... scary indeed bear.Quote:

My body blew up like a balloon, but could have been something I ate, even though I'm pretty sure I stayed away from sodium.
I had very strange dreams and they were all connected to each other, which rarely happens. Usually they are a bunch of different ones or I never remember the connection. Also could have been food.
I did hear a lot of sirens (police, ambulance) but nothing in the neighborhood.
We also had a time change on Sunday, so this Full Moon might not be a good starting point for me, I'll have to make comparisons on the next one and the New Moon to be sure.
I did however wake up this morning full of energy, but that might have to do with the time change and that is is now light out at 6 AM.:)
I still have 5 hours to go!:rolleyes:
On the way home this evening I noticed the full moon,and how quite the street was... not a y bird about...
I can't sleep.
And I'm smoking like a chimney... other then that all seems to be well...
Damn,I just jinxed the next 12 hours!
Awooooooooooooooooo!!
Okay then, looked up at the sky
Saw the Full Moon
Wondered if it had any effect on me
The answer is no
I wondered again
Really thought this time
But sadly no, not a peak of madness in sight

It wasn't until I found myself naked that I thought there might be something in this:D
I'll put it this way...
No babies since last Thursday... Then BAM!!
4 delivered last night during the full moon! Good thing or I'd be called off work tonight.
I will have to say that some of the stuff that affliate its self with the full moon is true. You just have to do research and find out what is. I don't understand how we can celebrate Halloween, but the mention of the work witch craft, pegan, wiccan, or spells, everyone gets all defensive and say its eval. Did you know that it is believed that Jesus at one time practice the Pegan ways. I think if you are going to live in the world, today's society, the way life is now, you have to have an open mind.
I seriously believe that we should go back to the way it was because if they can make it so can we but the thing that would be different is how we all are equal. How we are respectful to every race. What would be like in the old days it light by an oil lamp, doing laundry would be out side in a tub and scrubbing them clean, working out in the yard, or having out to dinner event with your family. We are so lazy now that we became boring.
Except for those who do live an open mind life. They understand that A full moon does mean something but it doesn't mean its all evil. I think if you have a problem with the full moon maybe you should think back in your life and see if you can say five evil things that have happened to them on a full moon, you won't find someone who can. If you do then they just either are lying about it, or they just have real crappy luck.
I don't think anyone IS saying that the Full Moon is Evil. We are having fun and experimenting to see if anything is different for us.:)Quote:

Computers went down at work for 5 hours today---the DAY before my big audit.
I'm blaming the full moon.
I'm good, nothing weird, except that I'm watching 'are you smarter than a 5th grader':eek:
Nothing to report-slept like a log':-)
