Lunacy and the Full Moon

I totally disagree with the scientific research here.

There is a definite correlation between my own personal lunacy and exposure to the image of the full moon belonging to a particularly lovely young lady I happen to be married to.

Scientific American used to be a really wonderful and important magazine. My subscription ran out last year, so maybe I'm missing something. I suppose I would discount some articles as simply filler. They did always include a page of stories that from the past were either ridiculous or prescient. There are seasons to life. We are influenced by light. Tides in the oceans are a reality. To discount the influence of the Moon on our lives considering the physical evidence on the oceans, and suggest its influence is insignificant because a mosquito doesn't weigh much, is a long stretch. It is common for women to have their period during the time of the full Moon. (I asked my wife if this was true. Please check with yours.) I do suspect that the Moon has been up there as part of our seasons and weather longer than we have been around here. Of constant influences I suspect it has produced, and maintains influence over us in a myriad ways, though light and tides are most significant.

The Moon is likely around 4x10⁹ years old - the result of a big impact to the still warm young Earth.

It has much more impact than will be expected.

I cannot sleep at all if there is any moonlight visible - same with any other slightly blue-tinted light.

So if I want to sleep if there is moonlight I have to turn on the electrical light: yellow and more intense, so no problems with that.

Would be an insurance against attacks from predators or enemies if some of any population (human or animal) have this peculiarity.

Our distant ancestors had ample time to wait and watch for the big cats and bears coming in and then try to escape? - until they learned how to protect.

Early warning was a good idea saving others and the warners sleeping at daytime?

There is a definite connection between a full moon and people acting in an erratic fashion. Go to any hospital or clinic emergency room that has 24hour care and ask literally anyone about working a full moon shift. You'll more than likely get more weird and nearly unbelievable stories than you bargained for. What causes the phenomenon will, I believe, always be somewhat mysterious and hard to fully pin down by science.

Many years ago I worked with a man who, when ever there was a full moon, exhibited truely bizzar behavior. He would hide behind the machinery and try to stay as far as he could from the windows. He once told me "They're out there watching me". When the moon was no longer full he was back to normal; but for a day or two every month he was way out there.

The scientific community may not believe that a person can be "moon struck" but until they can explain this mans' behavior I'm going with the lunacy theory.
