One reason is that the sky gets brighter as each day passes. After the full moon occurs, the sky gets darker which is why people gain more sleep. As for menstrual cycles, the synchronization has grew less and less over time. In the research that was shown, it claims that women who had menstrual cycles that lasted longer than 27 days "intermittently synchronized with cycles that affect the intensity of moonlight." That said, there is less of a connection between the moon and menstrual cycles compared to sleep. ]]> 2021-02-08 21:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179487536 jegarcia11 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179496394 From what I have read in the article the moon has no effects on human bodies or emotions. That no scientific study on the subject has shown any meaningful results but other than that it's fine. I did learn two new words Perigee and Apogee. Perigee is when the moon is closest to the earth and Apogee is when the moon is farthest from the earth.]]> 2021-02-08 21:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179496394 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179528724 For centuries, humans have believed that the lunar cycle affects sleep, violent behavior, mental health, and menstrual cycles. In ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and in the Hindu religion, they thought the lunar cycle would affect the health of sick people and lunar eclipses were vulnerable times. While people like Isaac Newton thought the lunar cycle affected menstrual cycles, modern data tells otherwise, stating that there is no link between the two. A study was done to question the correlation between the lunar cycle and sleep, but the data was inaccurate and could not be replicated, which shows no link between the two. While many people still believe that a full moon night links to violent behavior and crime, studies have shown that there is no link that the lunar cycle affects mental health. In conclusion, the lunar cycle does not affect human behavior proved by current data. However, the lunar cycle affects other factors in our environment that could potentially affect our behavior.]]> 2021-02-08 21:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179528724 stnie https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179532761 The moon does have an effect on animal behavior. For instance, Meredith Palmer, an ecologist at Princeton University, spied on lions and their preys using 225 cameras. She found that the animals set up their plans for the night based on the moon's phases. When the moon is at its darkest, wildebeests and buffalos tend to form herds and stay in a safe area. Wildebeests are more willing to venture out as the night gets brighter. ]]> 2021-02-08 21:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179532761 alescandor1 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179538860 Some say that since the moon has an impact on Earth's water, it may also have an impact on the water in our human bodies. The explanation for this is that it disrupts the alignment of water molecules in the nervous systems. But others speculate that the moon's gravitational force doesn't have a great enough presence or effects on a human's brain activity. Plus also the moon's effect on water only works on open bodies on water, not contained sources of water like the stuff in our bodies. ]]> 2021-02-08 21:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179538860 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179882578 Scientist found a man where when there is high tide, the sleep duration was shorter than if it was low tide. They believed that the patients mood and sleep patterns were tracking rise and fall of the Earth's oceans which are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon. There is evidence that sleep varies across the lunar cycle. In 2013 study,  scientist found that people took 5 minutes longer to fall asleep on average and slept for 20 minutes overall around a full moon compared to the rest of the month. Water molecules will respond to any tiny gravitational change. And so if plant cells are sensitive to tidal forces then there is no reason why human cells cant change according to the moon as well. ]]> 2021-02-09 00:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1179882578 pepham https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184543414 It was suggested by Aristotle and Pliny the Elder that the brain was the moistest organ of the body, making it vulnerable to the harmful influences of the Moon. There are still beliefs that the moon can disrupt the alignment of water molecules in the nervous system since the human body is made up of 80% water, causing erratic behavior. Against these statements, it was argued that gravitational effects of the moon are too miniscule to cause or create any effects on brain activity. ]]> 2021-02-09 20:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184543414 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184545606 The article states how various cultures have different beliefs in how they should behave during the moon cycle. For example, in India, people avoid eating because it is believed to be harmful during the lunar eclipse. In Hinduism, they also believe that the changing faces of the moon is correlated with periods of sickness and health. Overall there is no absolute proof that the moon affects human mental and physical health but it is possible that it might affect our sleep, moods and vitality.]]> 2021-02-09 20:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184545606 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184547559 While reading this article I learned That the next time the moon will be super close to the Earth is in 2034. The moon doesn't have any real significance to the human body and it's all just superstition. Many think that has happen to humans during the full moon never has a scientific connection to it. So overall the moon doesn't have any affects on humans.]]> 2021-02-09 20:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184547559 phvo https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184559665 This article follows two psychiatrist who discovered that their patients' bipolar disorder follows a very particular cycle. The patients' episodes followed the rise and fall of the Earth's ocean, which is controlled by the Moon's gravitational pull. Though, there has been some evidence suggesting that sleep may be affected by the lunar cycle, but a claim as large as "the moon controlling our mood" is hard to prove. There has also been research suggesting that since the ocean is affected by the Moon's gravitational pull, there are possibilities that we could be controlled by it as well- although we possess a smaller quantities. A biophysicist named Joachim FIsahn has taken the task to study plant cells in order to prove that we could be controlled by Moon's gravitational pull in some way.

According to the article people tend to sleep later and get less hours of sleep right before a full moon. The study shows that people in both high and low areas of electricity experience this effect. In the study of the mensural cycle younger women are more likely to have their mensural cycle align with the moon cycle. As women get older this slowly fades. ]]> 2021-02-09 20:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184578537 jedelacruz https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184772882 This article details all about the supposed effects a looming full moon has on society. The article goes on to list the different effects it may have, such as higher crime rates, car accidents, etc. However, along with listing the different effects, the article goes on to debunk them, chalking them up to mere coincidences. The main reasoning behind this fascination with specified events occurring more frequently during times where a full moon is present is because of something called "illusory correlation." Illusory correlation is the perception of an association that does not exist.]]> 2021-02-09 21:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184772882 gasu1 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184775743 2021-02-09 21:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184775743 catrieu https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184781199 The article explains how the moonlight have an effects on animals. It continuous to say how wildebeests stays in one place when its dark, but when the nightlight is brighter, they move around in different places. Also, the moon gravitational pulls on the Earth's tides. Animals also tends to stalk their preys at night with less light and the moon being the only light source. And the moon helps predators with night vision making it more easy for them to see in the dark. The moon is less shown the polarized signal weakened which can throw insects off course and what certain animals can detect. ]]> 2021-02-09 21:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184781199 isnguyen https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184794562 The article talks about how specific cultures are gifted moon necklaces for safety, and studies have been tested on how the moon may affect humans mental health, sleep, menstrual cycles, etc. but in the end all of the studies have been inconsistent and there is no proof or hard evidence that the moon affects human behavior. ]]> 2021-02-09 21:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184794562 kenie https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184802986 According to the article, scientists have found a connection between sleep cycles and lunar cycles. For instance, a study on college students concluded that they are more likely to receive less sleep in the days leading up to a full moon. Furthermore, there is also a connection between lunar and menstrual cycles. For example, researchers stated that women with menstrual cycles that last longer than 27 days showed "intermittently synchronized with cycles that affect the intensity of moonlight."]]> 2021-02-09 21:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184802986 amspears https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184827559 After reading the "It's Just a Phase: The Supermoon Won't Drive You Mad" Article by Robert Roy Britt, I've come to the conclusion that the moon doesn't have any effect on human or animal emotions or bodies. In fact the only thing the bright full moon is doing, is causing people sleep deprivation. A small study in 2013, of just 33 volunteering adults came to find that it was harder to sleep comparing a full moon to any other moon. Although there aren't many proven things the moon does to people, scientists are still constantly researching hypothesis about the moon. Its also been stated that on Monday Nov. 14, the moon will he as large as its ever appeared in the sky, and the possible date this will happen again is in the year 2034, according to NASA.]]> 2021-02-09 21:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184827559 https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184835981 In this article, two psychiatrist have worked with several patients that go through a series of changing schedules/routine, like sleep and change in mood. With these patients going through a bipolar disorder, Avery and Wehr are researching and observing their patients over a period of time in order to see how the lunar cycle changes and affects their patients change in mood. Although most of their theories are dismissed by past research, they discovered a connect that their patients changing mood schedule aligned with the changes in the tides of the ocean. Overall, there are connections to the magnetic fields of the Earth, the changing patterns of the ocean, along with the idea that moonlight effects and has an impact towards the instant changes of mood and behavior of the patients.]]> 2021-02-09 21:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelish/gk91fz6eu03end8m/wish/1184835981
