Full Moon Myths

lol There may not be scientific evidence but let me tell you, everyone at the nursing home where my mother is notices the difference in some of the patients.

Obviously I'm an insensitive person. I notice nothing.

I was not aware that tomorrow would be a full moon. Now that I know I shall not bother shaving today, which would be pointless since it will grow rapidly tomorrow.

As far as I know, it doesn't affect me but when I was working we always knew when there was a full moon because we would get really crazy calls from our customers.

when i worked the emergency room, many years 'go, we'd a fella who'd go plum off his rocker with full moons. he'd jump from stretcher to stretcher, frothin' 't the mouth whilst howlin' 'n snarlin'... other'n that, i pay no mind to such 'n aint noticed any diff'rences in the critters here.

The full moon makes the nighttime lighter, just get dark out drapes. Problem solved. I like the big ole moon, since I can see it from my living room window. Pretty.

I am a mental health professional. I used to have an increase in the number of cases refereed to me for therapy during full moons ( I don't practice actively anymore)

I do see that some high strung people do tend to be a bit more hyper during a full moon, and I find that the days afterwards they seem to be on a down swing from so much activity. I found the same to be true with seniors when I worked in a nursing home and with young children in general. Sometimes I have difficulty sleeping around a full moon, and for no good reason, so I blame it on the full moon as my inability to settle.

I'm a little bit embarrassed to admit the full moon usually comes and goes without my noticing.

A full moon doesn't affect me one way or another, though I think it's beautiful.

Actually friend of mine works in a psychiatrical home, she says the patients have more episodes during the full moon than normal.

These all are false believes, i dont think Moon has any effect on us, except its usual things of course

I noticed the big moon tonight and didn't know when it was going to be full. Good to know. Although I always prepare for the worse. I'm very superstitious

@LadyDuck the full moon doesn't seem to effect me, however, the students seem to be a little more out there with their behavior.

But why is it that you never sleep well when it's a full moon , my dear ? I don't even remember that it's a full moon whenever i am about to sleep , but have seen after arriving from work , that it's indeed a full moon . No effect at all , except , i am feeling so romantic when i see the full moon .

if the gravity is strong enough to affect the tides, I can't imagine it doesn't have some affect on us

Its a fact that moon had effect on sea and back waters. Enjoying moon light is very beautiful and it is very cool. I think as the image shows shadow in moon is the reason for so many myths. The word 'lunatic' is derives from moon.

@LadyDuck , for me a full moon is enthralling and peaceful. Probably because a full moon affects the human body like it does the oceans waves. Since our bodies are 75% water, the 'tides' of the body would be affected.

I have some knowledge in astrology, but I never had an attention to the affect of the full moon upon me. But it is known that even some days before the full moon, things can start to get strange. Yesterday I just lost it in some forum in my country and wrote something to someone that bothered me months ago with some comment, I didn't insulted him but wrote something in aggressive manner. I didn't understand where it came from, the moon is going to be tomorrow or already in Gemini. Which means people have to be carefull with their words. Cause Gemini connected to communication. Also I saw in a series about home birth a midwife saying there are births more than usual in times of a full moon.

I hurt my back once the night of a full moon. It was an eclipse of the moon as well. The nurses at the hospital were run off their feet with increased numbers of mentally ill patients. They said, despite what the research says, that the emergency department was always much busier on the night of the full moon. Oh, I've just read the &BelleStarr says the same!
