![]() Female ovulation cycles often correlate with the lunar cycle. I’m convinced the moon impacts my children’s behaviour.Īnd mine too. We all know that the tidal flow is affected by the moon, so it makes sense that we humans could be affected too. Our bodies consist of around 60% water, although in babies this can be as much as 73%. The research seems to be in agreement that the light of a full moon has an impact on the level of melatonin we produce, which can in turn affect our sleep by an average of 20 minutes.Īnd I’m sure my children aren’t the only ones who don’t cope well when they are tired. I’ve looked into scientific studies on the moon and behaviour and the results are mixed. My midwife friend says there are always more babies born on a full-moon. Indeed, the word lunatic comes from lunar, or moon. I’ve heard mental health professionals say that their patients have more violent and/or psychotic episodes around a full moon. I have friends who work in the medical profession who say full moon nights always bring out the strangest behaviour. I have friends who are teachers and nursery workers who say the same thing. And it always coincides with a full moon. Over the years, I’ve noticed certain days in the month where more friends than usual will comment on how trying their children have been. Some people might think I’m talking rubbish, but I swear it does. I’ve always said the moon affects my children’s behaviour. Looking out of the window tonight, I saw this. I even got hit over the head with a Ninja Turtle – and it hurt. Shouting, tantrums, over-sensitivity, tears, fighting siblings. Today was most definitely ‘one of those days’. I stood in the semi-darkness outside their rooms, closed my eyes and just breathed in a great big breath of utter silence. But my goodness, I was so relieved when all three were tucked up into bed, fast asleep, tonight.
