One theory is that water accounts for about 70% fo body weight.Gravity causes the moon could be like the human body in the ocean as the tides play a role in the liquid, known as biological tide.
Full moon, the moon of human emotions is relatively large, easy to make people excited.
Another argument is that full moon night of the brighter,some people have difficulty falling asleep, resulting manic mood.

Despite many claims to the contrary, no, there is no evidence that the moon has any effect on one's mood or behavior. It's regular orbit effects tides, wild life migration and such, but it has no effect on people's moods or behavior. I would go as far as to agree that a bright moon shining in one's window at night may make it difficult to sleep, but a good shade or blind can remedy that and the moon has no more effect than a street light outside your window would.

It could, but I doubt it...some others might make an argument that it does. I know as a teacher, we would say the kids were going to be crazy or act wild and have a lot of energy because there was a full moon. Maybe we just wanted something to blame their wild behavior on, who knows...there is always that possibility.

The only thing I think a full mood might do for some is make it harder to sleep around the time when we are experiencing one as it brings on more light to where people think they need to be out experiencing it more. Just because in the movies etc. a full moon meant changing of a person does not mean in real life it does, but then again does anyone really know?

It's proven today the effect of mood on tides. However, I cannot say that i have particularly noticed the changes in me during those times. I hardly come of know off the days when it's an eclipse. Days pass by amidst work and may be days afterwards I get to know about it. so, i could hardly feel the difference. The coincidental mood swings I would attribute to a part of normal ups and downs in life.
