The Moon's Effect on Sleep
Despite following expert recommendations for a good night's sleep, some people still struggle with tossing and turning. One potential culprit could be the silver light of the moon shining through the curtains.

many people romanticize seeing a full moon, especially special events like harvest or blue moons, so perhaps the effects come from emotions, not physiology, according to Dr. Stephen Carstensen, a consultant in sleep-related breathing disorders.
The relationship between the moon and human sleep is complex, and people's expectations can play a significant role. If individuals believe they will be restless under a full moon, that expectation alone can be enough to keep them awake.
