How a full moon effects us and why you should charge your crystals
Are you ready for this Full Moon?
We are coming up to a full moon once again, so does the full moon really effect people or is just a myth?
If it does effect us, why?
Well its true that during a full moon the tides are higher than usual and this is due to the gravitational pull from the sun and moon. I am sure you are aware that the human body is said to be approx 80 percent made up of water, so this is why some people really do physically feel different during a full moon. Scientists agree that a full moon can have a similar effect on our bodies as it does with the sea and tides.
Swiss researchers offered results on a study they had done regarding sleep and luna cycles and it was discovered that a full moon can effect our sleep.
Some of their findings stated that participants whom took part in the study actual had approx 20 mins less sleep during a full moon and also it took them longer to fall asleep during this period. So if you find yourself a little more restless during a full moon this could be the reason why.
