Feeling the hormonal flux? The answer could lie in the moon. Grazia speak to experts to find out all you need to know.
Full moons have long been associated with unleashing the moody and the monstrous. And if they can turn men into werewolves, just imagine what they can do for a sleep-deprived mother doused with a flurry of volatile,. I jest, but having previously dismissed anything related to lunar cycles as ‘woo woo’ I had to re-adjust my previously held thoughts on the matter having recently felt the full pelt of the Super Hunter’s Moon on the 17th October .
So is there any hard science behind it beyond my presumption that if the moon has the ability to govern tides it’s not too big a leap to imagine that it might also affect us in some way? . Whilst the general consensus among scientists remains divided, there does appear to be evidence that the lunar cycle can influence sleep patterns, emotional stability and hormonal balance, and that influence can be even stronger if you’re already dealing with hormonal changes such as the menopause.
This year’s Beaver Moon will be the last supermoon of 2024 and if you miss it you’ll have to wait 326 days until the next one.'Supermoons impact our bodies in various ways,' says Kocsis. 'The bright light of a supermoon, especially in areas with little light pollution such as the countryside, can disrupt circadian rhythms by suppressing melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep.
And if you’re still a wide-awake, raging banshee? Catch mother nature’s finest lightshow at 9.25pm on Friday 15th November and marvel through the muddled hormones.
