Default Full Moon..Does it affect you and how?

I find that I get so tired on the full moon . This happens each time. Many times I am not aware of it until I check the calendar and find that that's the reason... I taught for many years and I found that the students got very restless and into trouble more than usual.

I don't feel the full moon affects me personally, but I'm a cashier at a convenience store. The moon definitely affects some of my customers. A lot of them are nuttier, ruder and more obnixious than they usually are. Most of my customers are great, but there are a few.....

Trust me..as a 911 Dispatcher we can tell when Full Moon is coming. We get a lot busier. And a lot more Psychiatric calls.

Some people say that the moon has no effect, but those of us that deal with the public know better. And besides..what harm does it do if I want to go out in the yard and howl at the moon. Scares the heck out of the neighbors. LOL

Research shows that the full-moon effect is a myth ... but tell that to those who work with people of all kinds; something is different when the moon is full. Is it because the night is so bright affecting sleep?

Researchers should try working in a hospital during a full moon, and then write their reports. The moon affects the tides, our moods, etc. Hey, there is a reason they call them luna-tics, lol. If you work with the public, you don't need a calendar to know when the moon is full.

And if you work with children, too. Walk around the school hallways as the full moon approaches and compare it to a walk two weeks later. Don't need a moon chart!

Some months I don't seem to sleep as well when the moon is full. Could be the moon effect, or the light from it shining in my eyes. LOL

I retired from 37 years of teaching. There is a definite connection between behavior and moon cycles. The last 10 years I taught I had 8 th graders! Oh my word!! They were totally out of control during full moons.

My older daughter has worked with geriatrics in assisted living homes, and I behavioral units with schizophrenics and she sees a connection with those groups too.

There is definitely a connection. I get irritable the night before and the day of the full moon.
