The Moon Can Change Our Behavior? Science Explains

How much does the moon chage people? We've all heard people talk about a full moon making the crazies come out, or it makes normal people act weirdly...but could it really be true? Researchers have the answers.

Do you act differently when the moon is out?

I love the space related episodes! Great show, Kim.

[TheRoninTezz]

I learned about this is Science Class last semester.

[sparkonem]

Its always the case in werewolf lore. Always has some strong moon mythology.

[mojokuku]

It's easier to see during a full moon without the need telegraph your position with a flash light as you make your way on foot from point a to point b.

[Sandmanofamarillo]

Come to think of it... I can't remember looking at a full moon ever. Huh, weird.

[jtbrad]

The only surprising thing about this is people still believe that the moon has any effect on behavior at all.

[discgolftrainnut]

If there is no correlation, why do the hospitals gear up with extra personnel during a full moon?

[rasnac]

I remember reading an article that presents evidence of Lunar effect by using data 911 calls, police reports and E.R. admissions during full moons. :/

[SadisticSenpai]

My own theory is that those ppl are crazy all the time. We just notice them more during the full moon.

[skemp]

That's a good question if the moon can change our behaviour

[vmah]

Its called lycanthrophy and it is treatable
