Why do I have trouble sleeping during a full moon?

The melatonin production and our circadian sleep cycles are not adjusted to the fool moon, as it occurs so rarely! It's a weird, long and scientific explanation but lots of people don't sleep well through the full moon!

Scientists said it’s not clear how lunar cycles disrupt night-time rest. But they believe it could be due to the way the brain is affected by the moon’s gravitational pull during its ‘full’ phase and the way it reflects solar radiation from the sun.

It can be challenging to sleep at night depending on several factors. It may help if you try to wake up and go to sleep around the same time each day. Another useful technique could be taking about an hour before you go to bed to do things that relax you (ie. do not watch TV, use a computer, your phone Etc) because those things can trick your brain into thinking it is day when it really is night.

You could be a werewolf! Or... you could be affected by the moon's gravitational pull. It affects the tides, and some animal species, and it may affect certain humans who are more in tune to nature. Keep in mind, this is only my theory, I am not trained as a sleep consultant. If you are female, it could also be tied to your menstrual cycle. In Native American cultures, there is a belief that women's menstrual cycles follow the 28-day lunar cycle and in the old days (not sure if it's still done today), when the women were menstruating, they were sent off to a hut where they remained until they were off cycle. The reason for this is because they believed that women absorb energy all month long, and when they begin menstruating, they are releasing all of that negative energy. Additionally, because in the old days women did most of the cooking and crafting, people were concerned that these absorbed negative energies would be released into whatever the women made during their menstruation, and it would ruin the item or cause it to bring bad luck. I mention this because if your menstrual cycle is synced up to the lunar cycle that could interfere with you sleep as well, especially if you consume a lot more chocolate or caffeine during this time. And if you are a witch, or wiccan, then you are more in tune to the moon's energies and could be being affected that way as well. If you are a woman over 40 (typically), you could be having hot flashes which just happen to coincide with the full moon. If you are a college student, you could have extra stress during certain times of the month, depending on how your professors have scheduled exams, and those could also be coinciding with the full moon (my professor schedules one every month, like clock work).

It is most likely due to superstition of full moons. These can range from werewolves to less unrealistic ones. Hope this helps.

Full moons have a long history of being a bit troublesome; the term 'lunatic' was developed due to individuals showing sensitivity of them, in fact! Researchers think that full-moon insomnia may have been something of a biological reflex to help our ancestors avoid predators that might have hunted during full moons, so if you find yourself lying awake when the moon is full, it may very well be your inner caveman tuning in to ancient survival instincts!

does full moon make you anxious? its not abnormal to have trouble sleeping now and then. Its only a problem if it makes you dysfunctional in some way in a chronic manner. So, dont worry.

You could be a werewolf.......you never know....Although, that's probably not it. Depending on where you live, it could be something like the tides rising or some other thing. Idk, tbh.

You probably associate it with bad rumors that you heard about it. Rumors can play into our subconscious minds.

Well, although I don't know what your thoughts are on the supernatural, I sit and ponder the existence of things CONSTANTLY. Are you subconsciously afraid that these things are real, maybe?
