Hello fellow mooners!

I, like you all am effected by the moon. This weekend (26th) was a full moon (I live in Australia) plus a partial lunar eclipse. For as long as I can remember I have always been effected by a full moon heightened with the fact that it is my ruling planet and currently in my star sign. My usual symptoms consist of feeling unsettled, unbalanced, agitated, lethargic, possessed ! and like most of you – can’t sleep. This time it lasted from Friday night to Sunday afternoon and this “phase” was the worst I have experienced eva (I am 34). I tried to explain how I felt to some friends and whilst some believed others laughed. I am so glad I found this site as I believe more research needs to be done on why we all share this commonality – surely we ALL can’t be making this up !!! I’ve come to learn to accept that I am special and resist the urge to fight my body’s reaction when a full moon is out. To anyone that is reading this, believe what you feel, stay in tune with your body and document your symptoms. I would be especially interested to hear from those of you born in the Cancer star sign given it is our ruling planet. Mooners Unite ! B)

Hi i am 49 years old and have trouble sleeping when there is a full moon. I know it sounds far fetched but its funny because my husband cant sleep either. What is even stranger is when i go to work and say i couldn't sleep last night, you find other people coming out of the wood work saying the same thing. Coincidental i don't think so, you couldn't make it up. I dont follow the moon, so i never know when a full moon is going to be around, but you can guarantee when i have a sleepless night, i look outside and there is a full moon. I dont tend to get a lot of sleepless nights only one or two, but its always when there is a full moon. There has to be something in it.

I’m back since last December…………….For me there a 3 day overlap before, during(today) and the day after that I experience restlessness etc.
The day before seems to be the worst for me with really bizarre dreams……………If there was a pill I could take for 3 days to stop the effect of this, I damn sure would.

Keep the faith,

I've experienced the same thing for years, usually starting a day or two before a full moon and lasting sometimes a day or two afterward. I also worked night shift in ER admitting at a hospital and we did have far more babies born during that time, more accidents, and more just off the wall incidents. My kids were all born right around a full moon as well (although one was induced, but she was exactly 28 days early, so was due during a full moon). I have tried blackout curtains and they don't seem to help. I also experience the same thing even when it's overly cloudy, so I don't think it has anything to do with it just being lighter in the room. There is definitely something to it.

I’m 62 years old and I’ve been suffering from the effects of the full for many years now and I hate it. About a week before the full moon I can’t sleep, get in bad moods, depressed and my head feels like it’s really spaced out and I have no energy. I don’t like to be around people during the coming of the full moon. My friends and other people even my doctors make fun of me and I just want to knock them on their butts or worse. To me this is NOT funny. I really wish I could find a way to stop all this. I wish people who don’t believe me would experience this for themselves.

Right now I very tired and depressed. I HATE IT, I HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT. Thanks for letting me vent.

This theory is completely true through my studies. I work at an elementary school as a teachers aid for the children who have learning disabilities. The kid I work with are in Grades 1-3 and I definitely see the difference in how they behave before and during the full moon. Its almost as if they are more out of line so to speak, they act out of there normal behaviours. I find this subject quite interest and will carry on with my investigations.

I agree with you all in some way. But for me it kinda works differently. Whenever the full moon is out, I always end up going outside and staring at it for almost an hour. At first I thought it was just a coincidence but every time a full moon comes out I always seem to be going out and staring at it. Even if it’s raining! But the strangest thing is that one night, I went to bed early, I had the strangest dream about the full moon and when I woke up to go to the bathroom, I looked out the window and there it was, the full moon! But it doesn’t stop there. The day after the full moon my body acts very wierd. Normally, I wouldn’t run all the way to school, I’d just ask my mom to drop me off. But I ran anyway and faster than I’ve ever ran. When we were climbing the ropes, the first time in my life, I actually went all the way to the top. And when I was trying out for cheerleading, I became more flexible. I could do things, I could never do before, like backflips and splits! I was really freaked out. But days that weren’t after the full moon were just the same old days.

haha…. nice to know I am not the only one…. by far! Yep… so here I am, It’s 4am on the Full moon…. been up since 1am and not a tad tired! A close friend of mine has been conducting moon workshops in Melbourne Australia, and have learnt a thing or two lately about the phases of the moon and their influence over our emotions and behaviour. Generally, the Full Moon is Yang energy – full of potential, a lot of creative energy – representing fullness, ripeness and promise.
People are affected by this energy in different ways – anger, violence, and moodiness is said arise in those that are possibly holding onto old and un-resourceful beliefs, negative emotions and experiences from their past (sometimes without being aware of their existence). We see such reflections of this in the increased crime rate, arrests and people admitted into hospitals around the time of the full moon.

By making a conscious effort to “let go” of all the things in life that steal our energy, and/or have a negative emotional pull on us on some level (i.e. anger, sadness, resentment, fear) enables us to experience increased clarity, energy and balance around the full moon – as typically it is a time to have fun and celebrate a new beginning (e.g. Full Moon parties).

Although I am at home, slightly bored (as I have all of this energy and no one to play with!!)… at 4.30am, I am thankful for natures cycles and feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful world… however crazy and sleepless we may get

It is strange. I googled “not tired full moon” and came here. I went outside right before I tried to fall asleep to look at the moon because it was full (it is actually full tomorrow night). It was soooo bright outside from the moon (and presumably also from the city lights) I was pretty amazed. For the last 5 hours I don’t know if I even nodded off since I tried first going to sleep at 1am. I am not even tired and I took a sleeping pill before looking at the moon.

The same thing happened to me last month on or near the full moon. Very bright outside, I mean you could play baseball in the moonlight without a problem where I live. Couldn’t sleep.

Another night I remember, maybe a few months ago, I stayed up working on a project and I was not even tired despite working the entire night. This night was also a full moon, which I realized from the light streaming in the front window early in the morning.

I just looked at the journal entries I keep. Almost all of the entries I made were within a day or two of there being no moon visible in the sky, the others being on the full moon. I am not kidding. But of course, coincidence cannot be ruled out. I am getting kinda freaked out by it, and I have had crazy goosebumps all over the more I read/write about this. Perhaps the light tricks our minds that it isn’t night…

Very pleased to find this site! I have been wide awake since about 1:30… This hasbeen happening to me during a full moon since I was a child, now I am 32. URGGH! I am so glad there are others going through the same. Like some of you, I have tried taking sleeping pills, but they do the EXACT opposite this “time of month”, I feel my heart race and anxiety is at an all time high for me. I don’t express extreme moodiness, but I can say that I am way more sensitive (ask my boyfriend!). Well, now it is 5AM, don’t think I’m going to be able to sleep. Coffee please. = )

wow this thread has been going on for nearly four years now, amazing. i too found this googleing the question why cant i sleep on full moons and am glad that there are so many others like me. i knew it happened to others, but didnt think so many, my brother and friend Jill are just a few ppl i know first hand that this happens to. but i find it weird that just me and my brother are the only ones in the family that this happens to. i havent slept very well for the past two nights and the full moon is tomorrow night so it looks like three or four more sleepless nights for LP. i also found out a few years ago that me and friend Jill that i mentioned earlier would call each other or hangout the night of a full moon and didnt realize it till like the tenth time. we thought we were some how linked by the moon cuz we have known each other for 16 years. kinda lame i know but we have also both seen and felt ghosts together when no one else did, so i dont think its too weird to think two ppl can this sort of connection.
any who i thought id chime in on this cuz it was so awesome i just had to a part of it.
later,
LP

I am 42 y/o it is a fact that i can got to sleep with ease and sleep a solid 8 hours 28 days a month. Tonight as is with every month I slept 3 hours and awoke at 12:30 am wide awake. I checked the lunar calendar it is the beginning of the full moon. I will not sleep tonight either. Some might say this is a trained response, I have even tried sleeping pills. Nothing is stronger than the moon.

Good thinking. I did not think about the magnetic shift since high school. It has been over 10 thousand years since the last shift. The magnetic north moving faster would indicate something major going on. This could be a very bad sign. Not like end of the world, just end of the world as we know it. Not like the the movies where every thing and every one die, but more like a good share of the population and a lot of the climate changing.

this is going to sound really stange but every now and then it just feels like i have a really high fever and I’ll ask my mom to feel my head “it feels fine honey.” she’ll tell me but I feel like I’m burning up. Then I was checking my email tonight and noticed it said there was a full moon. I realize I usually get this wierd fever when there is a full moon. As for the sleeping… I can’t sleep under a full moon

i am a fifty three year old female that has problems sleeping shortly before during and shortly after the full moon for as long as i can remember. it is so bad i can take sleeping medicine (which i do not like to do) and still be wide awake. i work the second shift and get off at 11:00 so staying up late is usual for me,but, during the cycles i will still be wide awake at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning. During these times it is really hard for me to function normally because i suffer from great loss of sleep. Any suggestions from fellow sufferers would be appreciated

I thought Id add a comment here, I’ve always found that i’m hyper sensitive and emotional when its a full moon, I am really down, low and very teary too, I cant seem to make sense I feel very self conscious, and like I want to do as little in the eyes of others and just get back inside my home. Another thing too, I don’t seem to get on with my twin flame as much either, we both seem to disagree or one or both of us can be stubborn and quite argumentative, a couple of days later we think what was all that about? Recently i was diagnosed with hyper- thyroidism and had difficulty sleeping and my body heating thermostat was going through the roof, taking some meds now thyroxine to balance things out, so so far so good, also the full moon is quite interesting the effect it has on horses, where i live I own two horses, a mare and foal, strange behaviour, needy and a lot of communication, also a mare on our farm is going in labour as her milk is dripping and she will foal around 11pm tonight. So there definitely is a connection with the moon its cycles, and how it connects to us, animals plants and tides etc, yes there is definitely something there.
love and light to you all, and im trying to relax while the moon in its full splendour waxes gibious

Camille — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:35:56 +0000

Well I just thought I would take a look to see if there was any correlation with my not getting any sleep last night…and the coming full moon. My 2.5 y/o son went to bed with the worst of tantrums then woke up in the middle of the night with bad nightmares and wouldn’t stop crying. I was already awake, tossing and turning the few minutes of sleep I did get I had a very vivid dream of myself walking up to a mirror and seeing my reflection then it morphed to an old lady with a slight grin. Talk about weird.
Not sure if there is any correlation or not but, I do have hypo-thyroidism and have issues with sleep every so often but I am noticing more and more that they tend to be around the moon cycles. It’s interesting… also I know this is gonna make me sound insane, I haven’t said this to anyone except my man for fear of ridicule or just plain being laughed at (and he said and I quote “I wouldn’t tell that to anyone ok”). I woke up a few months back on a full moon night literally jolted out of my sleep to find myself already sitting up and pointing at the window. Creeped out I thought what the hell & pulled back our black out shades & there was the brightest bluest moon I’ve seen in a long time. Then I couldn’t go back to sleep. WTF even just reading it sounds crazy to me… but it is the truth and it is eerie and a little scary. If anyone has had an experience like this I’d love to know about it. Thanks!

we live in London and always notice more people getting really violent and aggressive and getting into fights at the full moon. I tend to get really moody and my partner and kids can’t sleep at night. I have noticed other people getting narky or weird then i tell them its the full moon and they say, oh i didn’t know that… so not sure if it can be purely psychological. I have read two explanations – one is the greater effect of gravity on the water in our bodies because the sun and moon are lined up at the full moon, so the two gravities act together. The other one is that our primitive ancestors used to hunt and be hunted at the full moon because of the extra light and we have retained this behaviour pattern to be more aggressive at this time and to stay awake at night. Whatever the case is – The effect of the moon is real and I am always glad every month when it’s over – although I am often really creative, but its always the time when we have really awful rows.

Hmmm… It’s seems most of you have trouble tryin to sleep and some of you are tryin to be spoon-fed the answer “your a werewolf” lol! Anyway I don’t think the moon changes me to be frank, I think it just gives my subconscious mind a reason to act different. I feel most people act differenty around the full moon just because the moon itself is different. It’s like the sun, a great glowing orb floating in the sky and yet it’s different, it’s unique because it’s always changing. During the full moon I feel something clicks inside me, some thing that tells me “this is different, and so, you can be differend” for example, last night. I was out with my friends and as soon as I saw the moon a wave of confidence washed over dancing in the falling snow. I’m sure I could have stopped and calmed myself, but there was the simple fact that i didn’t want to, it felt good. Just saying on the subject last nights full moon was amazing! A blue moon taking place on newyears eve, that hasn’t happened since 1990. Not to mention have the full light of a moon on a clear nights sky reflected off the fresh blanket of snow. . My friend even mentioned ‘werewolves’ to me, but of caurse I laughed at the thaught. And now my friend has a insane suspicion that i’m some sorta thing from a fairy tale book. LoL I do wish I had an answer as to why people act odd around the full moon thaugh having witnessed it amongst my friends

I find the whole approach of “science has studied and has found no connection” to be kinda funny. Especially since there are a LOT of things in this world that science can’t answer.

Take for example; autism. Lots of so called “research”– but no one knows what causes it. No links to anything. No known cause. So if we use the same deductive reasoning they apply to their conclusion about full moon sleeplessness, then we say that autism is not real, right?

No. It’s real. I have a daughter with autism. (and yes, I am aware of the vaccinations theory, but that is a whole other topic that even MORE backs this point I am making… But I won’t go into that here.)

As far as I’m concerned, the same logic can be applied here. If a large abundance of people in this world experience sleep difficulties during a full moon- yet no scientific connection can be established- it just means they haven’t discovered it yet.

Comment on Full Moon Revisited by Trisha

Trisha — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 08:25:43 +0000

My two year old has been a little hellian these past couple of days. She has been impulsive and bad; hitting, playing rough, getting loud, and aggressive. Normally she is a sweetheart and very loving. My seven year old has been enraged about everything for the past two days. Usually he is easy going for the most part. My fifteen year old has raised his voice at his younger siblings twice the past two days and he never does that. My seventeen year old is irritable and rude, short tempered as well. I am bitchy and annoyed with things that I usually just fix myself instead of gripeing because my boyfriend didn’t think to do it yet. I have raised my voice three times in two days. I just don’t usually do that. Interesting thing-when I couldn’t sleep today it dawned on me that the moon might be full and I checked and it is. Happens without us knowing.

I have been aware of the effects of the full moon on myself and my family members for years. 5days prior to the full moon I start getting really irritated and yelling about things or at my kids. My emotions seem intense and hard to control. This happens whether I am aware of the full moon or not. In my previous marriage my husband and I would have a fight and split up on every full moon. We finally made a rule that no matter what the circumstances we were not allowed to split up on the full moon lol! Two of my kids experience the intense emotions as well. They will get in trouble at school or have a bad fight with a friend or sibling or ME!! or do something totally out of character at this time. So to help each other with this situation whoever notices the moon coming full first warns the others. We then lay low so to speak and stay on our toes. It is bizarre and uncanny but undeniable. We are talking like 15 yrs of patterns of behavior beyond coincidence. I pretty much feel like a banchy or as my family says, “psycho!” lol. I work nights and sleep days 4 days a week. When the moon is full I cannot sleep during the day or night. This particular month December has two full moons which is called a blue moon. Not sure of the significance but I think it is supposed to be worse or stronger?? I don’t understand how there can be a full moon phenomenon that is this well known but nobody has any scientific studies to back it up or explain it. I mean we have our laymen’s knowledge about gravitational pull and tides etc. but why isn’t it respected in the medical community as scientific?

Hi Folks;
I too for many years have had strange effects with the full moon.
Physically, my temples get tight and I also have restless sleep along with really bizarre dreams…….Up until a couple of years ago,I thought it was major health problems with all these things happening when I realized the common denominator was the full moon!

Today, Dec 1st it’s at it’s peak…….The way my bed is situated, the moon shines right in my window at about 3am……..Now, I cover the blinds with a towel 2 days prior and at the full moon or I’ll toss and turn all night….Going to put a shade in.

I’m glad I found this site because I now know that it’s not just me………Also, just watch the overall behavior of people in stores and especially in traffic and it’s wild!….A kind of edginess in the air………..Some full moon’s seem to be stronger than others too.

What an amazing and crazy world!

Peace,

Had trouble sleeping last night – woke up on and off and remember looking at the clock at 3:30 am and about every 1/2 hour last night. Tonight there is a full moon and there was a strange man wandering around on the college campus from the adult home (mentally ill) across the street. Work was hectic and I feel more energetic and happy. I agree pregnant women go into labor and the mentally ill increase their bad behavior. I definitely believe the moon affects us, but don’t understand why. More light I guess, just wonder what we are supposed to be doing outside?

Wow, this thread has gone on for three years.. Oh, and yes, the full moon does in fact have to do with mood. It’s similar to SAD (seasonal affective disorder) but for some reason it makes you energetic instead of depressed.

I was 9 months pregnant and told my mother I was going to stay at my boyfriends house that night. She didnt want me to because she had a bad feeling. I said it would be fine and sure enough 5 o clock that morning I was in labor. and it just so happend to be a full moon. There were a bunch of other women that went into labor that night too that were at my hospital. I totally belive it. I havent really noticed my sleep patterns being any different, but I am deffinantly going to keep track now.

Well, it’s a full moon now. And for myself, during a full moon I get NO SLEEP at all. It’s very frustrating and that alone will make you ill. I even take sleeping aids and will take an extra one to help me sleep, but even that doesn’t work. I would give anything to find something to help me sleep during the full moon. I know it also makes me a little crazy too. I never believed it until I started keeping a record of my sleep and then compared it against the stages of the moon. I try to not keep record of the moon so that I don’t let it go to my head. Then I look back and see what was going on during the times I couldn’t sleep. HELP, I NEED SLEEP!

Ask someone whos ever worked in any kind of institution for the mentaly ill about full mooons and see what they say.

They may be sceptics but they will usually tell there is a change in behaviour… to say the least.

And I’ve also heard that it’s an unspoken thing that if you on the night shift in the police force on a full moon it gets abit hairy.

The first one’s based on plenty of chats with folk in those kind of jobs (and situations), the second is just to many films possibly……

Fasinating subject though, even if just for the folklore and stories.

my boyfriend and i had been dating for nearly 9 months last weekend. and all of a sudden out of the blue, he went absouletly crazy over nothing, he has a little bit of anger issues, but i have never seen his behaviour change so quick and be so intense towards me. he has never been like that before and then he was in such a rage he broke up with me, a few hours later he regretted it after he had moved out and he doesnt even know how it happened. this was on saturday the 6th of june 09 and the full moon was on the nexzt day. do you think they are related? im a skeptical kind of person but there was no way to explain his off the chart behaviour.

My friend has had extreme occurences during full moons. Not consistent with anything ive found on the web. The most extreme behavior comes when the moon appears to be red. When he notices the moon he took a picture of his teeth and compared it to other pictures of him and his canine teeth are close to a quarter of an inch longer. On one occasion it was full moon that appeared red and he became very angry. So angry, in fact, that he got out of his car and lifted the tail end of the car. My friend weighs 135 lbs. and is 5′ 5″. This seems impossible to me and him. On most occasions he has coughed up blood, which we thought was his smoking, but when we noticed that every time it was a full moon he did this, and ever since we noticed this, it never happens on a day when the moon is not full. Although, this is repeated many times on this site, he also cannot sleep well.

Well i couldn’t sleep last night – sure enough full moon.

We live away from light pollution, so even though it was really dark in the bedroom i knew which direction to look in to find the moon when i went walk-about …feels like i’m in it’s tractor-beam! – has done since i was a small child.

Also, i feel a bit rudder-less for the 2-3 days/ nights before the new moon becomes visible.

It’s amazing how many people feel the same way! I always have trouble sleeping. I sleep better when a cloud is over the moon. Probably because when I am thinking of clouds I get tired. This may sound strange but because the moon reflects from the sun is it posible that we are getting energy (Heat) from the moon into us? Have you notice when there is a full moon people are the scardest at night even though there is more light?

yup full moon again. Once again the bf is on the warpath. I will be spending the weekend without him once again.

I read a couple of interesting articles. One was on mating habits of animals, they are increased during a full moon. The other article explained the theory that as cavemen people would hunt during the full moon (specifically males). Therefore increased testoserone and adrenaline! So we inherit some of our genetic programming from our ancestors. I apologize if someone wrote this one in already. There are too many to read them all.

I try hard not to believe in anything that may be considered to be superstitious. So i am always sckeptical about things like this. However there is too much anecdotal evidence to deny this influence. I am a transit driver and I observe driving patterns during the day and listen to the passenger related incidents on our buses over our radio system and I say, “I bet it is a full moon.” I am always right. I dont want to believe it, but I am always right. Today after about seven close calls in a 90 minute period, I thought to myself that it must be a full moon. Well It is. I did not realize it at the time, but I was unusually agressive. I brought the bus close to most of those cars to make them acutely aware of their stupid actions. After seeing the full moon I realize that I had been affected by it also. I figured that I would research this topic on the internet. While thinking about it I recalled that as a child growing up in my homeland our female pigs would go into heat based around the lunar cycle on the day of the fullest moon is when the female’s member would be the most swollen and the most red. That was the day we would mate the pig for the best chance of conception. I dont recall a lunar mating link for our goats. Anyway I think that the moon affect some part of our brain that causes it to secrete more testosterone than usual. I believe that most of the weird behavior can be explained through increased testosterone. What I need is for some one in the scientific community to carry out the necessary tests to prove or disprove my theory. In discussions tonight with two female co-workers I was told by them that men seem to be more affected at this time than women. All these things things are interesting, but now we need the emprical data. Sorry for being long-winded, but I feel every sentence was necessary.

To add another voice – I have had the same issue for as long as I can remember. I find myself extremely restless, unable to sleep, and a day or two later find out that there was a full moon.

The gravity argument doesn’t make sense scientifically. But many of nature’s processes are tied to phases of the moon, so there seems to be some kind of correlation.

We just don’t know what it is. Like we do not understand the nature of consciousness, of dreams, or many of the mysteries of the universe. Not because of magic, or some supernatural force. Only because we haven’t made the effort to understand the process.

Thank you all for your testimonies here.

I’ve heard that the tides are highest during the new moon and full moon. It’s 4:39 am. My usual lack of sleep is half moon to half moon I hate being tired and not able to sleep!!! Thank god i’m not alone! I guess I have a few days left to go before sleep comes. I suppose acceptance is the key. But what to people do when they have to go to work on no sleep…or school. It has really stopped me from doing these things….Anyone else have an answer?

I have a father that does not sleep well during the full moon period. My mother says he acts different as well. I do not sleep well during this same timeline. I now have a daughter who has serious trouble sleeping during full moon cycles. Perhaps there is a connection with the REM or sleep cycles. I try to block out any light created by the full moon thinking this is causing us to wake up. All 3 of us drink alot of water and we are 70% made of water. Curious if anyone has noticed if the tides are different during a full moon cycle. Can’t blame it on caffeine as we don’t drink coffee or eat much chocolate. I try to cook foods that are not loaded with chemicals. Hoping some scientist has the answer out there.

If moon light is created by the sun, could the position of the sun affect the gravitational pull of the moon? Think about it, if there is a half moon for example the Earth would be in the way of the sun to have any affect on the gravitational pull of the moon. But when there is a full moon, there is nothing between the moon or the sun. Does the gravitational pull of the sun have any affect on the moon?

First off – i’m a skeptic of all supernatural superstitions, in fact i’m not even sure how i ended up on this page. But i have to say i find it quite uncanny that last night i was unreasonably “bitchy” all of a sudden after having dinner in the city with friends. I started getting a strange feeling when i saw the moon *approaching full state* when it finally got very dark. I guess you can say i was acting out of character.

Looking back at the nights that i clearly remember having a fullmoon *on two occasions* – both times i spent the night at my bestfriends’ house which is strange because out of 3 of the nights i spent the night, 2 of the significant nights were on a fullmooned night; the first time was the first time i slept over after i admitted i loved her a few days before, the second time was the the night i spent talking to her about her leaving school/the country after we fell apart and she cut all contact with everyone including myself for 2 whole weeks. It was the last time i opened up and had a serious talk to her before a meagre night out to the movies in attempt to put things back together and finally ever seeing her again.

The next full moon will be here in 3 days so i’ll keep an eye on how i will sleep that night since i now actually realize that i’ve woken up in the middle of the night twice on a fullmooned night.

Ok folks so here it comes again. I go through this often. I always have. Yesterday, I was at work, and one of my peers decided to lash out at me. She happens to be bi-polar and is no longer on meds, so I thought it was just that. I have to say also, that I am feeling tired, and in a haze (which is my full moon behaviour). When the moon is full or approaching it, I tend to be bothered by other peoples negative energy and want to get away.
So after work I was driving over to my boyfriends, who has been cranky this week. On the way I notice people are cutting each other off, honking horns, and generally driving bad. I just attribute it to winter depression. I arrive at my boyfriends, hadn’t even got my coat off yet and he picks a fight and tells me to go home. This is most annoying because I have driven a half hour, and will have to drive the same time to go home. All I wanted to do is chill out.
He is still cranky and I know he will not talk to me for days.
This morning I am reading my horoscope and it mentioned the upcoming full moon. Well of course, I think back it always happens on the full moon.
I have been journalling my relationship and I know for a fact that his behaviour does change the week of the full moon. It usually starts a few days before and lasts for about a week. Some moons are worse than others. I know he has not been sleeping well since Sunday night.
There are some times when he will actually become violent. I can relate to what people are saying here. There is no doubt in my mind that it is correct.
Unfortunately, I tend to withdraw during this time. All I want to do is be quiet and reflect.
Honestly, I have to say, it does make me feel better if I can go for a drive when the moon is full. I leave the city and go out along the river. The sky is clear and it is beautiful to see the snow and the river lit up by the moon. I find if I can take the time to do this it lifts my spirits back up.
I guess the best thing is to embrace it for what it is (if you can) and go with it. It is what it is, we can not change it. The thing to do is recognize our behaviour, and knowing that it happens regardless, try to find a way to make the best of it.
For me it came at a perfect time. I was considering moving in with my boyfriend. It is not a good idea, where do I go once I give up my place and he needs to kick me out? It also is fodder for more thought. Maybe it is not the right relationship for me. To the girl with kids and you are afraid, You have to seriously consider the implications of that. My guy can be the sweetest the rest of the time. But once a month can cause a lot of damage. Especially, if he doesn’t take responsibility. I am an adult and I know how much it hurts me, I also know what it is to be afraid.
Thanks for reading and for your letters. I feel better to know I am not alone.

I just found this site. I’m married and every month during the full moon my husband’s behavior drastically changes. Any little thing can set him off. It’s like he goes into a rage. I have been keeping track of this for several years. It’s always when the moon is its fullest. After the full moon he becomes a different person. Things don’t bother him as much. It’s like Jekyl and Hyde. I really believe the moon can change someone’s behavior. I see it at work. We always say the moon brings out the crazies. The word lunatic comes from lunar meaning moon.

I’m a newcomer to this whole “full Moon” phenom. I too dismissed it for years when friends would talk about it’s affects. Buy 3 times in the last few months I have been compeltely unable to sleep, my heart is beating faster like somen else mentioned. I went through all of my Sleeep aid rituals frpm hot showers, chommomille tea and so forth, wchihc usually knock me out. Went into the kitchen wehre it wa lit up bright BLUE, and I thought, OMG! IT’s that Full Moon at it again! Sicne this is my 3rd time to be so wakeful on a full moon,…I googgled the moon calendar, and sure enough,
there it was JAN 11 , 2009!! I think why this can’t be proven is that it affects only certain poeple, at certain times in their lives….but hey I’m with you FUll MOON INSOMNIACS out there, this guy is powerful!

I really enjoyed reading all of the above! I went online to see if I could get any info reg. full moon and sleeplessness and I sure could! For the last several years I have noticed that I at certain times have been unable to fall asleep, feel like I have a fever, toss and turn in my bed, thinking like mad and feeling my heart pounding like I have eaten far to much sugar, strange dreams when I finally do fall asleep etc. but it is only recently I started connecting it with the phases of the moon. I think the water theory is very likely; however I also cannot stop thinking of the symbolic meaning of the moon, which among many, is the unconscious. Many modern disciplines within psychology does not include the concept of the unconscious or they simply reject it, but I think it is still a very valid concept in trying to get close to all which happens out side of our conscious mind, like dreams and behaviour we cant explain rationally etc. And it is my experience that this unknown territory -by a lot of people – is being felt more strongly during full moon. Then one could raise the question – but the moon is always there whether it is full or not, it is just how we perceive it through our senses that it differs. That is true, but if we still think in symbolic terms and play with the symbolic meaning of the moon to be the unconscious, then it is strongest when it is full, because we cannot ‘escape’ seeing it – we cannot escape seeing and feeling this other part we also encompass, which is the irrational, the moody, the dreamy, the emotional – all the aspects which we cannot scientifically or rationally explain. I personally believe that the tension around full moon is caused because we tend not to ‘like’ this part of our nature very much. We have build a society which has a strong focus on the rational mind, logic, mental power and a deep urge for knowing everything, be able to explain everything. So I find we have missed created a space where this other part of our being can unfold it self. But this does not mean that these other aspects of our nature go away – they just have to try and get through or get expressed when ever possible, and it seems there is a sensitivity around full moon where these aspects does get expressed, though perhaps in some broken form, because we don’t really want to deal with this part of our nature, or simply because consciously we do not know of its existence, due to it has to little recognition in our western society… Just a thought..

I’m a 42 year old male and you can guarantee when ever there is a full moon, I can’t sleep. This is no coinsidence because as far as I can remember this has always happened fron an early age. The symptons include a racing mind, I just can’t stop thinking about stuff. I also get agitated, restless and can’t keep still. Sometimes I can feel like a caged animal, not knowing what to do with myself. I can stay awake to the early hours of the morning, but I always get agitated before the night time aswell, just before the full moon. It’s nice to hear other people suffer with this aswell, but nice isn’t the correct word to use, it’s more of a curse. The water explanation is very plausible and there might be something in this, I never really thought of that before, well done.

I completely agree with everything everyone has said. The past couple of days have been so weird. All my friends have acted really weird and seemed to be completely different. My parents and I got into an arguement ans so did all of my friends and their parents’. Last night though, after the full moon was finally over, everything seemes to go back to normal. Everyone apolagized to everyone else, and it seems like nothing happened. I’ll be sure to pay closer attention to full moons in the future. OHHH yeah.. I couldn’t sleep either!

Well it taken awhile to find this site, but thankgod I have, my daughter has never slept on a full moon. She is 4 years old and she doesnt sleep much anyway, but when it gets to a few days before the full moon I just know when its coming, I dont even need to check. So last night she went to bed at 8.30pm and was up at 2.30am and thats it she will go more than 18 hrs + before her next sleep and it knackers me out lol I should be used to it by now, but I am not. And when I mean wide awake i mean the whole nine yards, cup of tea, brekkie everything its just soo normal for her, I wondering whether I actually had her on a full moon, that might explain why she doesnt sleep that much. But I dont no where i can find that information so if anyone knows can you drop a message in here. Take care everyone and be safe oh and try and sleep xx

I have to agree! Anyone who knows me knows I sleep like a bear in winter and obnoxiously set my alarm clock 2 hours before I need to get up since I’m such a crazy deep sleeper!

However, I began noticing that about once a month I would begin waking up suddenly throughout the night or really early in the morning, unable to get back to sleep. I started tracking it 6 months ago and noticed it always happens to me a night or two before the Full Moon!

Well, I happened again last night and sure enough, there is a Full Moon tomorrow night (6/18/08).

I’ve always used the astrology excuse since My sun and moon signs are in Cancer and Cancers are ruled by the moon. I definitely feel pretty edgy and raw around the Full Moon and notice I feel extremely clear, grounded and centered around the New Moon each month. Coincidence? In my experience, I think not.

heres another thought…

Maybe its something simple – such as because people know its a full moon they expect to find it hard to sleep. I struggled the other night…. but it was not a full moon.

On the other hand, some of us know that sleeping during the day can be really hard. Maybe the reason we struggle to sleep on a full moon is because a full moon reflects more light from our beloved sun and “thats” whats keeping us awake? Especially if you dont have curtains and its blaring right through your window!

there was a full moon last night (may 20th)..
i didnt know beforehand but i knew that for the past 2 nights ive had the worst sleep ever.. laying in bed hours until the early morning (usually 3am)…

i am NOT a skeptic. my sleep is 100% disrupted around and during a full moon. no other time in the year is it like this. people need to get over the folklore and really look deep into the science behind it..

sometimes my moms workplace will come in saying ‘man i slept so bad last night’.. we’re not all dillusional. perhaps some of us are just more ‘in tune’ with things than others?

Natalie, I had a similar problem last night. I went to bed and started to feel quite stressed and anxious.

My boyfriend said that my body felt boiling hot. The room wasn’t particularly warm, but I kept feeling really hot and sweaty. I tossed and turned all night and bearly got any sleep.

Over the last few months I have started to notice that I suffer some sort of insomnia around the full moon, and I don’t know it’s a full moon until afterwards.

Now I’m going to start to try and pay attention to when the full moon is due so that I can take some sleeping pills or something!

Well, for those of us who believe in the Bible, maybe here is an answer (I also struggle with this full moon, but will try this one):

Psalm 121:5-6 The LORD is thy KEEPER: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the MOON by NIGHT.

You know, God SAID “let there be light”, and Jesus fought satan with quoting scriptures Matt 4 – maybe THAT’S our answer to good sleep!

Ok so last night it was a full moon here.

I didn’t realise this, but I stayed at my boyfriends house and I was ok until we went to bed. I got in bed and was ok for about 10/15 mins…until about 11.45. I then suddenly felt really weird. For some reason I was petrified. I couldn’t sleep and just generally felt strange. My boyfriend is giving up smoking so was fast asleep but didn’t appreciate me waking him to tell him I was scared! I tried to sleep but something wasn’t right. I kept looking around the room and I was boiling hot. By about 12.30 I had to tell him I was going home. I went downstairs (petrified even more by the dark) and went to my car, as I opened the front door the massive full moon was right in front of me. I looked at it a while.. and he lives right by the sea and I could hear the waves… It totally freaked me out. So I got in my car and drove home as quickly as I could.. but kind of felt in a daze. Once I got home and got in bed I was ok and fell asleep. I took the day off work today as I didn’t feel ‘right’ in myself.
Now I think about it, I did used to get this regularly a year or so ago… it wasn’t a monthly thing and I never checked the moon.. but I wonder if it’s related?

Sorry to bore you, but I had to look on the net for related info! x

At about 2:00 pm, I got out of bed and walked outside and had a little chat with Mr. Moon. I asked him to give me a break and let me sleep. Fortunately, he didn’t reply.

I totally believe the full moon effects us. If you think about it, like said before, our bodies are 70% water. Also our brains are suspended in fluid. The gravitational pull must have some sort of effect on our bodies.
It seems a little more than coincidence that I am in a bad mood for three days each month, having no bearing on my menstrual cycle, but when documented, found it landed on the day before thru the day after of the full moon. And intensified at night fall.
Also looked back to investigate a relationship I had, where we broke up once a month. All of these break ups landed on the full moon.
This all seems to be a little more than coincidence to me.
Now being aware of this I am able to mildly control it.

My son doen’t sleep well at all when there is a full moon and several days before that. He is more hyper during those days and gets in trouble at school. I asked the chiropractor about this and he said that the full moon does affect the body. He also said that parasites hatch during a full moon. Sure enough, my son had parasites and was able to take supplements to get rid of them. Also, I had a dog with epilepsy and he would have seizures the night of a full moon.

I slept last night, but usually on full moons I don’t sleep for ages and ages.. not until my body just decides it can’t stand being awake anymore. I also get really hyper the week before the full moon and I’m the most hyperactive and insane when it’s the day of. My friends all seriously say I must be a werewolf…if so, cool. They’re all wary of me just before the full moon, too, like they’re afraid I’m going to go crazy on them or something. It freaks me out, too.

Last night, it was cloudy here, so I couldn’t see the moon as well as I usually can. It was also right before I went to bed and it was on the other side of the house from my room, so no light shone through. I didn’t get much of a chance to drink in the light like I always do…

Then I when I did go to bed I slept almost right away. o.O It’s just weird how seeing the moon would make you act differently.

During a full moon, I sleep troubled, but I eventually go to sleep. But the worst part is, that 2 years ago I had a dream about my parents getting divorced and it came true, (im only 13) and that day I remember was a full moon. Now there is a full moon in a few days and I will have another dream that will come true. Ive learned that this is something called Lunar Dreaming, O.B.E., and many other things, but it says that I have dreams that come true only on full moons… and this can be quite disturbing considering im still only a child. Has this ever happened to anybody else here?

Ugh….. I LOVED the books. What a disappointment the movie was. My kids wouldn’t even watch it. It did absolutely nothing for me. When I heard that it was going to be animated, I was worried that it wasn’t getting the funding or support it needed. This had the potential of being a GREAT movie. In my opinion, there are very few books that equal it. If they could have made the movie even close to the level of the book, it would have been a major moneymaker.

Well I have noticed that I cannot sleep when there is a full moon. I wont even know the moon is full until I look out the window. I have been experiencing this since I can remember – scientific fact or not it affects me!

Wow, this is really interresting. Last night was a full moon and I tried to go to bed at 10pm. I couldn’t get to sleep until 2 or 3 and even then I kept waking up. My heart rate also seem to be going really fast like I was on caffine or something. I kept trying to remember if I drank or ate anthing that would make me so restles. No, couldn’t think of anything. I had to wake up really early, at 5 am to take my roomate to the airport. She said she never even went to sleep! She said she just didn’t feel tired and had a lot of things to do anyway. She said maybe it was the full moom which made me google and find this. I’ve had hard times falling asleep before but I don’t think it’s ever been that bad. I will def pay attention to see if it’s the moon giving me troubles about falling asleep.

omg!! this is too strange! I couldn’t sleep and got up, got on the computer(while looking out the window at the huge moon completely mesmerized and still awake at 2 a.m.)Then I googled in ” why can’t I sleep when there is a full moon”clicked on this page and tripped out! My sister-in-law says I’m a witch. And I was thinking back to my childhood days and remembered my mother saying ” I didn’t sleep last night it was my witching night” Is all of this true? Am I a witch? Was my mom? Do witches not sleep when there is a full moon? All of this is so confusing to me. But I never sleep and have the need to do stupid off the wall crap when there is a full moon. Do they make drs. for this??

Firstly – hello to all the contributors to this blog.
Secondly like many of you I thought that I was the only one suffering from this phenomena but apparently not. In the days leading up to a full moon I to suffer sleep disturbance but more frighteningly I suffer severe paranoia and think the world is out to get me. When I say severe I mean SEVERE.

It is reassuring to know that there are other normal people out there that are going through what I go through.

The previous entries have gone a long way to explaining things but isnâ€™t it sad that there is no research into this situation (going as far as producing an old Act of Parliament inasmuch as the Lunacy Act which dictated that people like ourselves was classed as mad – sorry Iâ€™m English).

I am now 56 years old and this blog has gone a long way to explain that I seem to have wasted (through lack of understanding) a lot of those 56 years. I have always thought that I just suffered mood swings or a Jekyll & Hyde personality but only in recent months have I thought that the moon could be a contributor to those mood swings.

So thank you all – and if you want to share your Moon mood swing thoughts then please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have had RLS since moving to a high altitude town 10 years ago. Prior to that – no RLS. So, does altitude have anything to do with RLS and insomnia? Also have noticed that I feel “allergic” to the full moon – in the sense that I am drawn to it and have to make myself not get pulled in. Also notice that a few days before and during a full moon RLS is worse. Also worse during season changes and about a week before my period. I SO wonder what all of these events have in common. Any suggestions?

Full moon last night and I couldn’t sleep. I was actually out of town Tuesday night couldn’t sleep.. home and sleep Wed and then last night.. the full moon I was up again. My kids woke up as well and mumbled all night. I think next time there is a full moon I am going to stay up all night and get some work done. If you can’t beat it.. you may as well join it.

It is now 1:13am and I am up yet again. All week I can’t sleep and there was a lunar eclipse last night. Every month I have noticed when there is a full moon, I can’t sleep. I don’t even have to look at a calendar, I can totally tell when a full moon is coming. Besides not even only being able to sleep, I work with patients and when a full moon is coming, for about a day or two people are just off their rocker. I know it effects my mood sometimes too & this week especially, I felt like I was PMSÃng all over agin. I thought I was crazy until I stumbled upon this website this morning. Im glad I’m not the only LUNAR-TIC!

I know the full moon affects my foster daughter that is special needs, she becomes very moody and unpredicable. She can be down right miserable and doesn’t seem to know why. I keep a behavior record so I know this is a fact. I also seem to be affected as I wake up during the night which is not a normal thing for me. A friend told me her Father was so mean during a full moon everyone had to stay away from him for several days. I wish someone would do a better study on the subject.

i think its obvious people act strange when its full moon. I have been affected by the moon for as long as i can remember. 20 is when i bought my first lunor callender so i would know when it was coming. for appx 1 week befor my sleep pattern changes and i get less and less sleep as the days go by, and when its full moon i try to either have a big party, go camping, any thing that doesent involve sleep. it can be a good thing. i seem to have to much energy around this time but the good thing is i can sleep like a baby 2 days after

not only have i suffered for years with full moon insomnia, but my restless leg syndrome is so much worse during the full moon too. my oldest sister has the same issues with the full moon, and i have noticed that my poor three year old daughter has very fitfull nights during a full moon. doctors can call me crazy and scientists can say i’m wrong, but i know what i feel and i know it’s all about the full moon. glad i found this site, it eases my mind a little to know it’s not just my family. hope everyone sleeps well tonight, but i wont hold my breath….LOL!

It’s 6:10 pm, ive been up for 2 days now. i will most likely be up another day or two if this is the standard ‘lunacy cycle’. i am manic depressive/bipolar. for any scientist that doubts lunacy…feel free to contact me if you are intersted in studying someone who is affected physically and mentally during the rise and fall of the moon. i can at least assure you that it is not a waste of time.
no werewolf or vampire or tweeker am i. just a simple man who cannot escape the cycle of the moon. luna….she is my bane. as long as i cant see her eye to i we are fine. but, ohh luna, when you unveil your face in its full beauty…then and only then does your mesmerising spell turn me into a dote void of free will. for it is my will to sleep and am found being proven to your testament of true and awesome power. luna shields us from much ,more than you know. kindred spirits.

I too suffer from full moon insomnia. Right now its 5.30am and I haven’t slept a wink and yes there is a big shiny moon ouside my window. I haven’t slept well all week. The previous two nights I took pills but they didn’t work tonight, in fact they seem to make it worse. This doesn’t happen every full moon but definitely the majority of them. I have occasional insomnia and I am now going to keep a sleep diary to see if there is a pattern as I have only registered the actual full moon and not the build up.

I have recently finished a nutrition course and our lecturer completely believed in the effect of the moon. She says it is to do with our mineral & water balance. Some minerals are charged and they are called electrolytes and these help to govern sleep and wakefullness. They control our circadian rhythm.

I agree that it may also be connected to ancient hunting practices and that we would have been more watchful and alert on a full moon. This would have occurred for thousands of years and become part of our genetics. We still carry the genetics of our ancestors. Just a thought. I now don’t know whether to bother with sleep as my baby son will have me up in a couple of hours. He, of course, has slept like a log.

i too have experienced the lack of sleep it began sometime around my tenth birthday and is still a regular occurance (i’m 19 now) it has been a full moon for the past 3 mights an only alcohol seemed too knock me out last night i have tried sleeping tablets in the past but with no affect my father is also affected by it, he gets really moody and quite angered whilst i get a sense of constant tiredness with aching muscles and a depressive outlook towards the start and end of the cycle but in the middle i have a burst of happiness.
