Can the moon actually affect how I sleep?

Answer:

The science is still mixed, but some research suggests a connection. A prominent study led by Dr. Christian Cajochen found that around a full moon, people took longer to fall asleep, had less deep sleep, and reported poorer overall sleep quality—even when they couldn't see the moon. However, other studies have found no link at all. If the moon does have an impact, sleep specialists agree it is relatively small compared to your daily habits and health conditions.
