West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12 | The full moon does disrupt our sons sleep pattern. Why? I have no idea. We even tried black out curtains back in the day. My wife says working night shift at a nursing home for a decade might sway your belief as well.
Here's what AI science has to say about our observations...
Scientific Evidence & Research:
Sleep Disturbances:
Some studies suggest that people may experience shorter deep sleep phases and go to sleep later around the time of a full moon.
Melatonin Levels:
Research indicates that melatonin levels, which play a role in sleep regulation, may be lower during the full moon, potentially contributing to sleep disturbances.
