Phases of the Moon & Sleep

April 24, 2024

Each month, as we bask in the beauty of a full moon, let’s explore how different phases of the moon may influence our sleep cycles. Do the moon phases affect your sleep? Research suggests that lunar cycles can impact sleep by causing people to take longer to fall asleep, experience more awakenings, and delay reaching REM sleep—essential for cognitive performance and emotional wellbeing. Lunar phases may even result in a 30% reduction in the restorative sleep stage where the body repairs itself. Discover more about how sleep cycles and moon phases interact, and how these lunar cycles might affect your sleep, including the potential roles of electromagnetism, blood pressure, heart rate variability, blood flow, and more, in this video. #BeWell
