Lunar phases affect sleep and menstrual cycles, study

Another study conducted and published in the journal Science Advances showed that there is a connection between a person's menstrual cycle and the moon's cycles. While this is not uncommon for other animals, the notion that even human beings periods are affected by the moon was controversial, to say the least. What is even more surprising is that since the use of artificial lights used at night, the synchronous nature of our periods, with the moon's cycle, has been lost however that could also be chalked up to age.

For this study, the menstrual data of 22 women over the past 32 years were studied. The data averaged 15 years and the information came from women who were both over and under the age of 35 years. According to a statement, women whose menstrual cycles lasted longer than 27 days showed "intermittently synchronized with cycles that affect the intensity of moonlight."
