People experience better sleep during the new moon and worse sleep during a full moon, a study found.
Recently, Cajochen compared the EEG and blood test results with the lunar cycle. And he found that people experienced better sleep during the new moon and worse sleep during a full moon. During the full moon, it takes an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep and people dozed for 20 minutes less. And, their melatonin levels dropped.
