Why do I have trouble sleeping during a full moon?

Even if the moon has as significant an effect on sleep as the study suggests, what’s less clear is the mechanism behind it. Dark labs eliminate the variable of light, so that can’t be it. And before you ask, no, it’s not gravity either. The authors stress that while lunar gravity does indeed raise tides in the oceans, it doesn’t on lakes and even many seas. Those bodies are simply too small to feel the effects—to say nothing of human bodies.

Your sleep and the lunar cycle is thought to somehow be connected. Here is an article if you would like to read more on the matter http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/news/20130726/moon-bad-sleep

Maybe it's your nerves and anxiety. Do you believe in superstition? I've had experiences where I've actually convinced myself that it was something. (in your case the moon)

From experience, I would find that the light from a full moon would seep through my blinds making it too light to fall asleep. Of course, that might just be me, but who knows :P

I have trouble sleeping during the full moon because the extra light tricks my body into thinking it's day time so I don't get tired.

To be truthful, I can't see the moon from my room anymore. However, I can't quite remember a time where I couldn't sleep after peering out at the most beautiful, luminous white light from a full moon. It had to have been the most "crisp" night in the beginning of the winter and my mind at ease, I closed my eyes and laid in my bed alone and at peace. I finally feel like self-discipline has paved a way to my path and things were looking better--how could I complain?

Because of the awareness of the completely visible moon, and the reminder of nature full of life. And maybe because of the energy it sends out.

I had trouble sleeping during the full moon. As far as I am concerned the energy of the moon is higher during that period and it might affect sleeping. Relaxation exercises helped me.

The moon has a tendency to open us up emotionally when it is full. This can cause disturbances in our sleeping patterns. Perhaps you could try exercises in grounding down your energy during the full moon if you wish to find sleep?
