mhm, according to new research from the current biology journal. A full moon can affect your sleep pattern. A small study tracked the hormone levels and snooze patterns of people in a lab, according to M N N. During full Moon, they found that it took the subjects more time to fall asleep. They also got 20 minutes less sleep and 30% less deep sleep. Additional studies found that men and women sleep patterns may differ near a full moon. Reports say that women got less REM sleep and men's REM sleep patterns increased. Feminine suggests that sleep patterns being affected by a full moon could indicate a link to our evolutionary past.
