My mom used to say the same thing, she was a nruse. I find I don't sleep well when the moon is near full. I want to be outside in it, doing what I don't know, but I just feel this powerful need to be out in it. Like a kid, I just know I'm missing something if I go to bed!

I work in a medical area and there is definitely a difference when there is a full moon - no question about it. I keep track of it on a calendar so I can be more prepared those days. With a bad economy and a full moon -- even worse.

I don't like to admit it, but it affects my sleep. Like last night, we went to bed at 11. At 2:15 I was wide awake and since I could not go back to sleep, I got up, appliqued and went back to bed at 4:30 and had trouble going to sleep. Or as in the past, I go to bed on schedule, usually 10, and cannot sleep. I get up and sometimes am up until 4 or so. I do not nap during the day and stay on my get up time between 6 and 7. I am also careful with caffine.

But for sure the moon was beautiful these past nights.

I am a nurse and worked in homecare for years. Without realizing the phase of the moon, we could always tell as our mentally ill patients would undoubtedly have more problems during a full moon. At first I thought it was coincidence but when it happened many times, I believe the validity of it.

I am an OB nurse and it is true that ER rooms are more busy on full moon nights!

I have trouble sleeping when there is a full moon, even near full moon.

I need to pay attention to it and see how it affects me. I know that I can usually tell when there is a full moon by he way the middle school kids I work with act. :-)

strange finding this topic tonight, while out doing errands I said to my DH,"full moon" must be soon. I can usually get within a week of it just by the way the drivers are worse than usual. So, when is the next full moon?

Full moon was the 5th... :)

I'm a middle school teacher so every day is pretty crazy but it does get ramped up during a full moon or before a snow fall.
