Full moon last night = shocking sleep??

A bit of a straw poll here...last night was a full moon and my DTS slept really badly (4 night wakings between 7 and 7, it's normally 2)...and they always seem to when there is a full moon. Did anyone else have the same problem?

Does anyone know anything about this? Or is it pure coincidence? I did dismiss it to begin with but it really does happen every time so am beginning to think there is something in it.

DS2 was horrendous last night. He came into our bed just after midnight and still wouldn't settle

yep

ds2, although admittedly not well, was up and down to my room half the night, until i gave in and kept him in my bed, then he was waking me up saying he couldnt sleep, when he had been snoring his head off inbetween

so i am tired

My severely autistic son always wakes up in the run up to the full moon. Well no he doesn't always wake up, but if he does 99% of the time it in the week before the full moon. I have been tracking this for years now

Ds3 (not autistic) is the same.

Weird isn't it.

My dd was up every 2 hours at least last night...not sure how scientific that is though, as her sleeping is fairly erratic.

DD had her worst night sleep for months and months. 9 hours sleep instead of her usual 12.

DH complained of the moon the night before. He said it was really bright and woke him up because he thought it was time to get up!

Yes, LO was awake between 1:30 and almost 4!! He normally just stirs at some point for maybe 20 mins or so. I've noticed this pattern at other full moons too.

Mine slept atrociously last night (3am 'can we get up now mummy?')
Ds2 did not really sleep at all

Plus I was making contingency plans for a dodgy buyer situation on ebay

Nobody any use today

yep we had an awful night - was looking out at the moon with ds wondering whether that had anything to do with it! Mind you the last few nights have been shocking..

Are we talking about Tuesday night? I was awake from 4am and was really exhausted all day Wednesday. Last night - Wed night - I had a wonderful night's sleep.
