What Are the Effects of Full Moon on Humans?

A time when some bizarre things happen

around us from people going crazy to

wolves howling at the full moon back as

a kid my older cousin told me that it

wasn't safe to go out there at night

during a full moon why because it can

make people crazy they said with all the

teenage authority they can muster I

swallowed hook line & sinker

I believe that the full moon affects the

human body for way longer than I should

have and to this day I still get a

little creeped out when I see a big

round moon lighting up the sky well

maybe I'm not in that boat alone for

many the full moon has been regarded as

a powerful entity that can change and

control human biology or behavior but no

matter the cultural stand people may

have there are scientific explanations

for how the full moon supposedly affects

the human body

you've ever been out camping

in the wilderness and hear the silent

suddenly cracked by the howl of a wolf

then you understand the entrancing and

hair-raising call the wild ever since

childhood we have been told that wolves

howl at the moon and if you've ever seen

a picture of a wolf with its muzzle

turned towards the sky bathed

moonlight that explanation makes a lot

of sense but are wolves calling to the

moon while we hate to burst your bubble

but it is a myth that wolves howl at the

moon wolves do not hell at the moon they

held to communicate with each other in

things like a wolf's location warnings

about predators in the position of prey

and while the most common argument

behind the whole wolf calling the moon

phenomenon is their up-turn heads while

howling there is a very simple

explanation for that it helps the sound

travel further up to 6 miles in any

direction allowing wolves to remain in

contact with one another even when a

pack is spread thin so when next you're

out in the woods and hear a wolf howl

beneath a full moon it isn't the start

of a werewolf horror movie nor are the

beasts of the force communicating with

celestial objects they are simply using

their voices to communicate over long

distances to protect themselves and

their pack define their territory or

lure in potential mates to pass along

their genes and keep the pack strong

effect on other animals now enough of

the werewolves another popular belief is

that animal behavior changes during the

full moon for instance coral sex goes

wild on a particular moonlit night each

December corals off the coast of

Australia synchronized the most massive

release of egg and sperm on earth

doodlebugs dig larger holes during the

full moon doodlebugs the larvae of

dragon fly like insects called ant lions

scurry around sandy environments in

search of places to catch prey leaving

winding doodles in their paths once they

find their spot in the sand

they dig funnel shaped holes in which

they sit and wait for prey to fall in

scorpions glow blue in moonlight the UV

rays of moonlight react with a protein

and scorpions that makes them glow in

the dark

these arachnids tend to be more active

during the new moon and seek shelter

later in the lunar cycle

so, if

wolves howl at the moon to communicate

what about humans how does the full moon

affect us

while many lunacies are associated with the

moon remain largely a myth some strange

patterns of human and animal behavior

have indeed been linked to the lunar

cycle and here are some of them number

one lunacy that a full moon can make us

a bit loony is one of the most prevalent

and hard to shake beliefs the words

lunacy in lunatic stem from the word

Luna the name of the ancient Roman moon

goddess

Hippocrates Aristotle and plenty of the

elder blamed mania on the evil

influences of the moon goddess and these

associations continue through the Middle

Ages and today number two effect on

sleep the moon may or may not make some

of us crazy and behave erratically in an

inexplicable way but it can affect us

sleep and for some of us the lack of

adequate restful sleep can affect us

mood and emotions

number three effect on menstruation you

may have heard how the moon can affect

your period and just before the advent

of Technology in the surge of period

tracking apps like clue women relied

traditionally on the lunar cycle to

predict their own menstrual cycles in

fact the average menstrual cycle runs 28

to 29 days similar to the length of the

29.5-day lunar phase from New Moon to

New Moon in while scientific evidence

correlating the two can be inconclusive

we can't deny the deep sometimes

supernatural connection many women feel

with the moon especially during that

time of month even the actual word

menstruation derives from the Latin word

menses or month and relates to the Greek

word mean which means moon learn

something today why not shares the fact

with friends and family who knows you

may just land yourself a cup of

chocolate and that's it on the list guys
