Julie: I’m into astrology and I’m aware the moon can affect our moods and energy. How does a full moon affect the human body? 

Megan: Daylight and moonlight do affect our circadian rhythm and ancient myths do claim a full moon can affect our “biological tides”. Human behaviour might change and more crime and violence occurs, bad moods spark, and people seem on edge. Yet, be aware there is not much scientific research behind this. The truth is that your sleep/wake cycle might be affected by moonlight coming into your window illuminating your room. Even that is hard to specifically attribute to disturbed sleep patterns. In the end, a full moon might make the coyotes howl and the energy a little different in the air, but this is only hearsay, not factual.
