Tonight the parents explained the reason for their kids extremely excitable behaviour was the full moon! I didn't know whether they were joking or not, but they explained the children will sleep through the night and sleep longer in the morning. I don't quite know where they found this out but if the boys sleep for longer, I'm not complaining!
So I looked up human behaviour in accordance to lunar patterns and that made for some interesting reading.
I think the idea of the moon making people more unstable at certain times is a little bit unnerving/spooky although I tend to read such articles with a pinch of salt. Depending on your point of view, any statistics can be manipulated "I think more crimes are committed nearer a full moon... and yes they are". Is this really to do with nature, or are more people scared of a full moon/believe it has a power and is some mass consciousness allowing more crimes? Even so, you never know the methods of how such statistics were rendered. Having said that, if I am to have any surgery in the future, lets hope it falls on a new moon!
