The full moon phase, which begins on the 12th of July this month, is a cause for people sleeping between 25 and 50 minutes less. This was revealed in a Swedish study, quoted in the Daily Mail.
The study was carried out by a team of scientists in Gothenburg University. In the experiments, Michael Smith and his colleagues tested the sleep of 47 people.
For the tests, the volunteers were left to sleep in darkened rooms and their reactions were under observation for a period of 24 hours.
At the end of the studies, it was determined that a full moon reduced the amount of sleep in women by 25 minutes and in men - by up to 50 minutes. It was in that exact moon phase that the volunteers displayed a higher sensitivity to sounds and changes in the environment in which they were sleeping.
Michael Smith, who was the head of the study, explained the result due to the biological clock, which we have inherited from our cavemen ancestors. He pointed out that our ancestors were most alert during the full moon, believing that the threat of enemies grew during that phase.
