Insomnia during a full moon – Moon’s influence on sleep

Our ancestors were perfectly aware of this in the past. They claimed that the full moon activates demons, vampires and dark powers. The moon within this lunar phase can cause irritation, nervousness, aggression and anxiety; enhance mental illnesses; stimulate sexual energy and increase fertility.
