The moon affects how well we sleep because it changes the amount of light at night.
When the moon is bright, like a full moon, it makes it harder for our bodies to produce melatonin, the sleepy hormone. That means some people might feel more tired or wake up more often during the night.
Why It Matters
It’s kind of like sleeping in a room with a light on, it can make you less likely to fall asleep deeply.
