Lots of thoughts here . As for science, the moon affects the tides of the great oceans and seas. As a 30 plus worker in health care ,the full moon is a fact it does bring the chaos on full force. As a pagan myself ,yes the moon is a very powerful being.....

If the moon phases effect the tides then why shouldn't effect our bodies? After all we are a huge percentage of water! (should I howl now or later?) LOL

I agree with an earlier poster who was a 911 dispatcher, I too was a 911 dispatcher also and you did not need a calender to tell what time of month it was. It got crazy bad when a full moon landed on a Friday or Saturday night.

Or try bartending during a full moon!! The worst full moons fell on "zoo" night. We were one of the only bars open on Sunday nights and all the crazies would show up then and a full moon made it about 10 times worse.

Babies!! Ask any L&D nurse or midwife or doula and they will tell you they know to get ecxtras sleep before the crush of birthings during a full moon! And if the moon is full but there is a storm, too, look out!

Yes, I notice that and that my hair get hairier and my nails are longer, my husband says I sound like a dog baying at the moon in my sleep. Could be because I got bit as a young girl??

Oh, yeah, the full moon has an effect! During 31 years of teaching, it just blew my mind that administrators would plan "hyped up" activities during the full moon when they could have been scheduled differently. The whole day would just be "gone" as far as academics went. I learned to save art and such for those days.
