How Does the ‘Moon’ Affect Our Tides and Sleep?

The moon pulls the water in the ocean, creating high and low tides. It also affects our sleep because it can influence how we feel during the day and night. Imagine the moon is like a big magnet that gently tugs on the Earth, this tug makes waves go up and down, and maybe even helps us fall asleep or wake up more easily.
