Who has problems sleeping during the full moon?

Yes. You are not alone in this. My husband thinks I'm a bit kooky because I have told him this about me, but I am not a person "prone" to weird things at all.

My mother and 2 of my sistes said they have the same problem and a male friend of mine also said it happens to him. I have heard 2 theories.

We all know that the moon has something to do with the rising tides, well, we are 70% water and it could have an effect on certain people. Another theory was that those people who are "high energy" or who carry a bit higher resting pulse rate than average would be affected by the pulling of the full moon. Could cause restless sleep, fights, racing thoughts, etc...

No matter how "tired" I feel, I toss and turn and stare at the ceiling every full moon, sometimes I don't realize it was a full moon until after a bad nights sleep, I have blackout shades in my bedroom. So I know it's not all in my head. :)

I apologise on behalf of humanity for the rest of those answers.

I came on here looking to see if anybody else shares my problem.

I too cannot sleep if it is a full moon. I have not slept the last two nights. I am sure that you are used to people telling you that it is all in your head, that if you didn't know it was a full moon then you would sleep well?

But you know this isn't true don't you. This is not an answer to why, but merely an indication that you are not alone.

Ive seen lots of Full Moons.!!

ALSO Lunar Eclipses.

The Moon is not a perfect Sphere.!

With my observations it is not! :D

well i might be perfect it might not be:).

Also last night,the Waxing Gibbous Moon.99% Full was soo bright when a airplane passed near it.I saw jet streams of the airplane which only can happen on bright day.When the Sun is up.

Also,the Moon is approaching its perigee it means its near the Earth.So tonight,the Moon will be soo bright because of its Full Phase and its comming close to Earth.

BTW,Perigee is on the 17 :)

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net/

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

apparently my 14 month old does....she has slept through the night ever since we brought her home from the hospital, but for some reason, during a full moon, I can always count on her to wake up at around 4am.

Me. I hate Full Moon.

A lot of people have trouble when it gets to their time of the month.

I hear that people have trouble at the full moon unless its cloudy and so they don't know its a full moon, then there are no problems.

I keep my windows covered all the time. I cannot stand being in sunlight, and moonlight is annoying.

I have the same problem. Here is a link I found in another question that might suggest why. Too bad I couldn't find an answer on how to fix it.

Actually, I find that I have trouble because when there's a full moon i feel different as in gloomy, like it's a different atmosphere around me.
