You are not alone in this. My husband thinks I'm a bit kooky because I have told him this about me, but I am not a person "prone" to weird things at all. My mother and 2 of my sistes said they have the same problem and a male friend of mine also said it happens to him. I have heard 2 theories. We all know that the moon has something to do with the rising tides, well, we are 70% water and it could have an effect on certain people. Another theory was that those people who are "high energy" or who carry a bit higher resting pulse rate than average would be affected by the pulling of the full moon. Could cause restless sleep, fights, racing thoughts, etc... No matter how "tired" I feel, I toss and turn and stare at the ceiling every full moon, sometimes I don't realize it was a full moon until after a bad nights sleep, I have blackout shades in my bedroom. So I know it's not all in my head. :)

Here is a link I found in another question that might suggest why. Too bad I couldn't find an answer on how to fix it.

I came on here looking to see if anybody else shares my problem. I too cannot sleep if it is a full moon. I have not slept the last two nights. I am sure that you are used to people telling you that it is all in your head, that if you didn't know it was a full moon then you would sleep well? But you know this isn't true don't you. This is not an answer to why, but merely an indication that you are not alone.

ALSO Lunar Eclipses. The Moon is not a perfect Sphere.! With my observations it is not! :D well i might be perfect it might not be:). Also last night,the Waxing Gibbous Moon.99% Full was soo bright when a airplane passed near it.I saw jet streams of the airplane which only can happen on bright day.When the Sun is up. Also,the Moon is approaching its perigee it means its near the Earth.So tonight,the Moon will be soo bright because of its Full Phase and its comming close to Earth. BTW,Perigee is on the 17 :)
