    Hi @ellie2000, I think it's common for people to believe that a full moon affects peoples behaviour and makes them act differently to normal, but I think it is actually a myth. After a quick search I've found that apparently it can affect peoples sleep which can make them act slightly different to normal but other than that it doesn't affects peoples behaviour. What do you think about this?

    Yes, very insightful point @ellie2000 !! A lot of people argue that the moon has an extremely strong effect on all states of emotion, and this is, in part, where some myths about werewolves originate, like an animal manifestation of difficult human emotions.

    To me, it only seems logical that the moon would affect us so, especially as the sun can entirely change how we feel for months at a time (e.g., Seasonal Affective Disorder and the lack of sun making people more susceptible to negative thinking patterns).
