Anyone else turn into an insomniac when there is a full moon?

[Jjhvvhhh]

Didn’t practice good sleep hygiene so probably can blame myself. However, I really don’t sleep well when there is a full moon.

Me apparently

I'm here. It's a gorgeous moon and have been standing in the garden, because I woke up an hour ago. Back in bed now.

I used to be a werewolf but I'm all right noooooowwwww!!!!

Well, I wondered why I woke up so early!

I should have gone out and looked at it. Instead rolling around in bed uncomfortable, having weird half dreams and ruminating…

At 3:40 in the morning, Im beginning to think you might be on to something here.

I'm just glad I'm retired now, so I don't need to get up until I'm ready, or to be more accurate, when my bladder is ready.

Yes. I’m wide awake

Wide awake 🙁

Wide awake and wondered why!

Awake. Woke up stretching then cramping now awake. I kept waking last week too

Me obviously as its the third day in a row I've been up at 3.30 and worse its my day off work today 😫😫

yep! on my third night of not falling asleep until after 5am 😪

Awake too! Last night I even got out of bed in the dark (I hate that!) to get some water. What the heck?! Owwwwww!!

Is this a thing g?!

I'd be out howling at it but can't see it. Harvest Supermoon, genuinely gutted the cloud cover has been thick the last two nights.
Always struggle sleeping during the full moon, waxing and waning either side too. Supermoons I don’t sleep until dawn. 🌕🐺
Largely vegetarian based diet though so no cravings 😂

it’s nice to have company, I’ve been going nuts the last few nights while DP snores away blissfully beside me (apparently he is immune to lunar forces). On the plus side, I’ve been down some excellent internet rabbit holes and have done rather more early hours online shopping than is advisable 😳

Oh apparently me too!

Me too, been awake since three. Yesterday too. Wish I’d gone to look at the moon.

Yes, me too and to make it worse can’t even see it as it’s really cloudy. Work will be fun today !

😫

Yes. About 30 years ago a rather flaky colleague made a comment about this. How we all laughed - full moon, sleep disturbance, as if!

Then as the months passed we started to notice . . . .

Flaky spoke truth.

There's another two supermoons between now and the end of 2025 so get ready

God yes I’ve had three nights now where I’ve not slept well and not been right. Most of it I’m putting down to peri menopause but last night was horrendous.

that explains it.

also people have been twats this week. That also explains it

Same here and I didn't fall asleep until 5 am and woke up at 7:30 feeling groggy. We might as well get the life admin, Christmas shopping and 2026 holiday bookings done during this time.

I hope everyone is surviving today!

Hoping for a good night of sleep this evening.

I need a crying emoji to react to this! 😂

It's a very rare year indeed. Hopefully the skies will be clear 4th Nov or 5th Dec. Maybe howling at a visible moon is the cure for the insomnia 😂
