This is magic: the full moon affects children's sleep

There is such an opinion, as if on children duringfull moon attacks hyperactivity. They make a fuss, they frolic, they do not care about anything, they can not sleep, but they sleep all the time. The idea that the Moon influences the behavior of people, human minds excites since ancient times. And finally, scientists decided to check whether this is really so, and seriously questioned whether there is a connection between the phases of the moon and the degree of children's "stinging".Photo:GettyImagesSpecialists from the Children's Hospital Research Institute of Ottawa took up the case. Canadian scientists did not rely on the opinions of parents, which, of course, are subjective. They hung special sensors on almost 6 thousand children aged 9 to 12 years. The children wore accelerometers that measured their level of physical activity and monitored their sleep for a week. And here are the results. It turns out that the children's activity level was almost the same, regardless of how far the Moon was from the Earth and what phase it was in. So the myth about hyperactivity is just a myth. It is better to analyze how much sugar your child eats when he gives you the restlessness level of "incredible fidgeting". But sleep... Here the myth is not quite a myth. Children really do sleep less during the full moon. But not by much, only five minutes. Too little for it to seriously affect anything. As the researchers say, this is only 1% of the total time of children's sleep. Moreover, it is not a fact that the duration of sleep is influenced by some magical properties of the moon. Perhaps it is just a matter of too bright light that hits the windows. Although, on the other hand, given the abundance of artificial light in the modern world, this is also a dubious argument. However, even such a result served as a basis for further research. Scientists believe that it is necessary to continue observations. Specialists believe that the Moon can influence certain groups of people. In order to find out, the research should continue not for a week, but at least for a month. Well, for now, only one thing is known for sure. The full moon is beautiful.
