Full Moon Revisited

Full Moon

When I first posted my post about the full moon affecting peoples behavior, I never expected it to be the most popular post on the blog. It seems that once a month around the full moon I see a HUGE spike in traffic.

Reading the comments that are posted on the post I see lots of people that have trouble sleeping around the full moon. That is something that happens to me when it’s full. I know it has nothing to do with the extra light that comes in the windows around the time. I have blinds that block out most of the light when it’s full.

Other Things I’ve noticed range from mundane to plain odd. Lots of people are or know someone who is irritable around the full moon. Some comments said that they are more aggressive in bed. (I had to delete them because they contained some graphic sexual content. I gotta keep this blog PG ya know.) One woman also said her period follows the full moon.

My mom even told me that she talked to someone that worked in a mental hospital and asked him if more “loonies” come in on a full moon. He told her it’s like any other night. The next full moon they had more admitted than on a normal week.

There’s something to think about here.

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.
