And then I stumbled on this graph where I was like...

Whoa.

All right.

Let me show this to you.

So scroll down in the search.

Yeah, this is the change in magnetic fields over a lunar cycle.

So the line in the middle is the full moon.

The magnetic field is apparently lower in the days leading up to a full moon, just like Horacio saw.

And then it gets like higher after the full moon.

But I don't know if I've gone off the deep end.

Like this paper is from like the 1960s.

Yeah, it's hand-drawn.

No, like nobody's actually like connected all the dots here to find out, okay, can we really sense the magnetic fields at all?

And can that mess with their sleep?

When Kristen was explaining this to me, there was lots of like hand waving going on and like emphasis that it's like all kind of just theoretical.

So it's really unclear still.

But this is a lot of wild speculation I have to emphasize.

Yeah, she said that this question of whether the moon is having like a subconscious effect on us is at the frontiers of our knowledge.

It's like a black hole.

But that doesn't mean that it's impossible or like a silly idea.
