The Full Moon Effect

Over the past couple months I've been doing some volunteer work in assisted living facilities across the area. It's a slow paced environment much of the time and most people don't tend to get very excited if you spend 15 minutes here and there conversing with others when they're not paying you a salary.

After speaking to many, many staff members at these residences I've run across a common denominator which I'd say around 95% of them agree upon: when a full moon is in the sky the residents, especially those with a lower metal ability, tend to become 'wild'.

Since I've encountered this topic I've managed to work it into conversations with people outside the care field. One of them is a local police officer. The officer swore up and down that impaired and dull people tend to cause more trouble on full moons.

I've always thought the full moon theory was an old wives' tale but after speaking with personnel who deal with a different subset of society than I'm used to I'm beginning to think there's something behind a full moon and its effect on people.

First hand experience? Thoughts? Stories? Theories? Let 'er rip!

On a side note: if you're a single man, volunteering in an assisted living home is a GREAT way to meet single women. I wish I knew this in college. You're welcome.

Is this because they simply are not allowed to leave or due to their lower cognitive ability?

My father was a firm believer in doing farm things according to the "sign" and after working in hospitals for 30 years I believe in the full moon mania.

I'm not exactly a conspiracy, myth guy either. If you know any police officers, caregivers, etc ask them about it.
Or people who work in the ER.

My wife was a psych RN for over 40 years and swore this was true. She worked with teens, adults, and seniors and said it didn't matter what age, they all got crazier on a full moon.

There is research indicating it affects dogs quite strongly. Visits to animal hospitals statistically pick up noticeably during full moons.

Might be demonstrably bullshit, but it seems to hold true in the addiction/recovery world.

OK, if you want to really look at the scientific studies done on this topic, please refer to this link: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/moon.html

This is a huge collection of peer-reviewed scientific studies done on lunar effects broken down in a wide variety of areas. There are links to each study, along with a quick summation of the results. Take a look at the list and see for yourself. Countless people have stated "Just ask any hospital worker....." Well, here's about 50+ different studies on correlation between the full moon and Emergency Room Calls/Emergency Room Visits/Hospital Admissions alone. Take a look at those results. They clearly dispute the anecdotes by a dramatic margin.

Quote:
Several researchers point out one likely answer: When strange things happen at full moon, people notice the "coincidental" big bright orb in the sky and wonder. When strange things happen during the rest of the month, well, they're just considered strange, and people don't tie them to celestial events.

"If police and doctors are expecting that full moon nights will be more hectic, they may interpret an ordinary night's traumas and crises as more extreme than usual, our expectations influence our perceptions, and we look for evidence that confirms our beliefs."

I always feel froggy on a full moon

My quasi-scientific theory is that a full moon affects tides even more than normal, and since the human body is 60% water... it stirs things around in us more than usual

Bark at the Moon
Ozzy Osbourne

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey, bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning Hell-unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong
So wrong,…
