My ILs have native american in them and they attribute some of that to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356285 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:40:11 +0000 mrbee 1356285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: @T.H.O.U.: I haven't seen any conclusive studies that confirm that a full moon affects things?</p> <p>Based on anecdotal evidence, it seems like it'd be something that people could easily prove! The fact that it hasn't been shown to be clearly true, leads me to think that maybe the effect isn't as clear as we all think it is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356283 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:39:36 +0000 mrsjazz 1356283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not sure. I know that we are lighter during the full moon (which is why I am figuring out how I can get a personal moon to hover above me at all times) and that the full moon can affect sleep patterns, so maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356281 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:38:08 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1356281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was affect labor, but I didn't go into labor on a full moon (and I was term!)</p> <p>The triage nurses told us during our hospital tour they have the most births on Super Bowl Sunday lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356280 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:38:05 +0000 Lindsay05 1356280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I worked at a group home for at-risk teenagers, and I always dreaded the full moon. They would run away, stay up all night, be way more aggressive during the full moon. My MIL is also a teacher of grade 7/8 and she says it's always way more disruptive during it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356277 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:37:08 +0000 mrs. bird 1356277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: i totally agree with your aunt!</p> <p>yes, i do! even my mom who works in maternity does, their numbers go up when there's a full moon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356275 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:36:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1356275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Yea this is kinda their logic too. If the full moon can control the tides then why is it so far off to think it can impact our bodies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356274 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:36:02 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1356274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't think so. But I also think it's crazy how the the moon affects the tides, so I guess there could be something. </p> <p>I remember all the kids in my neighborhood would dare each other to howl at the moon, but no one ever did. I don't think any of us truly believed that we would turn into a werewolf, but no one wanted to take the chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356273 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:35:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1356273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and most of his family have a really hard time sleeping during the full moon. I really believe that its true. This isn't due to the light of the moon but more the pressures and changes going on during that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356271 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:35:39 +0000 Weagle 1356271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's pretty fascinating to me! I especially think it affects births. There were consistently at least 4 women laboring in the waiting room while I was having LO. They ran out of room, and the nurses said it has been like that all week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356267 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:34:14 +0000 pui 1356267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hippie aunt used to say that since the moon controls the tides which are huge bodies of water, and our brains are basically floating in liquid, that of course people are affected by a full moon.</p> <p>I don't know, kind of makes sense to me I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356262 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:33:08 +0000 Synchronicity 1356262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At one of my previous jobs (I worked there for 4 years), we ALWAYS said that a full moon brought out the crazy in people because it seemed that we could predict a rise in dramatic behaviour based on the changing moon cycles. It was strange for sure, and I don't know that I really believe it, but it does seem to be a pretty notable pattern! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356260 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:32:24 +0000 yellowbird 1356260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaah! I don't know. I had MY LO on a full moon and there were a lot of others in labor too, so it may effect things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356254 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:31:01 +0000 mamimami 1356254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just going to ask if this question was related to recent incidents!</p> <p>I am undecided on this, although my first son was born on a full moon when I had no previous signs of labor, so I think there's something there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-the-full-moon-ie-that-a-full-moon-affects-human-behavior#post-1356250 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:29:59 +0000 mrbee 1356250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that the extra light from the moon does have an impact on things like crime rates... and in a similar vein, on baby sleep (if there are no blackout shades). But I don't believe it has an impact on human behavior.</p> <p>Although that said, there was a full moon on the site two days ago and the boards have been a bit angst-y lately! So maybe the full moon really does affect people?</p> <p>Do you believe in the full moon... i.e., that a full moon affects human behavior? </p>
