What happens during a full moon?

[paladin 0]

We have a full moon coming this Thurs according to Farmer's Almanac. I read my horoscope, but don't know much about this kind of stuff. What is supposed to happen on a full moon? My personal experience is that people act weird in general during that time. I wonder why? :eek: Anyone know the reasoning behind it?

Since the phases of the Moon effect the tides and since your body is 90% Water, I guess a full Moon effects the tides in your body and brain.

Back when I worked for the county we would get at least one new patient every full moon. There are lots of theories, but if people believe the moon changes behaviors...it will.

Plus, teenagers are a little more likely to get into trouble because of the extra light at night.

You always here that more babies are born on a full moon night. We tested this theory at the hospital where I work and found no statistical difference on full moon nights from any other night. It is speculated that people notice the moon when it is full and associate occurrances with it.

Yup, when I did newborn baby pictures (my part time college job) The only time we saw a major increase in babies was 9mts to the day of a big storm or power outage. Snort!!!

You should have seen the nursery after Hugo(NC was hit with a hurricane in 89). I bet 9mts after Katrina, there was a baby boom.

The Water theory sounds reasonable for explaining women going into labor. My wife was to be induced with our first son and they had to reschedule her by one day because they had a rush on babies...women going into labor naturally. They were lined up in the halls and didn't have rooms for all of them. It was a full moon.

So do people act weird on a full moon because they have Water on the brain? I can tell it's coming. It's in the air.

I get moody and bitchy, and this full moon will be worse since I also have PMS on top of it

Hey, same here for my DW. Where can I find a support group for men dealing with raging hormones? Anyone?

I used to work in a rehabilitation facility - and there were all different types of disabilities there - (an awesome place to work!!). I could always tell when there was a full moon - seizures were more common - and the clients were usually wilder than normal. (more outbursts)

I myself don't notice much of a difference - just tend to stay up later at night (usually go to bed @ 9ish)

i've always heard that a full moon is the best time to start new ventures, projects, etc.

I used to go with a policeman that hated full moon nights....to much stuff going on

When I worked at a hospital laboratory, they staffed more people around the full moon. More fights, more wrecks, more babies, more everything around that time. Weird, hugh?

As a teacher now, I notice it effects my boys more than girls. The full moon gives some of them PMS type emotions. When I figure it out, then I kind of "let some things go" around that time. Just like I want the men to do for me around my time. :couch2:

I truly believe that the moon has some effect. It may just be an excuse. It may be something pretty to look at... and they crash... but something is going on.
