i have since learned
however that
in scientific terms
there might be something
in the belief that
a full moon will impact
upon a person's behaviour
and can lead to
subtle changes
of mood and patience
not due to spiritual
gravitational or
mystical effects though
but simply because
the circadian rhythm
can get disrupted
by that sudden flood
of silvery moonlight
known as increased
nighttime illumination
which can cause some
to struggle to fall asleep
while others may experience
up to thirty percent less
deep sleep than
they need
