The moon in human culture is a symbol of mysticism. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are so many myths about her - from werewolves to sleepwalking and epileptic seizures.
There have been many studies on the connection between the Moon (especially the full one) and biology. Most of them have been refuted. It has been hypothesized that the Moon can cause epilepsy, contribute to mental disorders, poor health, affect the outcome of operations, harm animals, affect the menstrual cycle in women, and cause sleep disorders. However, upon closer examination, it turned out that all these phenomena were associated with the tendency of people to mystify events instead of trying to find a logical explanation for them.
But why, then, does the Moon continue to cause so much discussion, controversy and myth? Researchers point out that if an atypical event happened during the full moon, then people associate it with this. If the event happens on any other day, it is considered simply strange and not tied to anything specific.
It should also be mentioned that ebb and flow occur not only during the full moon, but also on the new moon. However, no one associates any events that are out of the ordinary with the new moon.
