It comes up all the time.
I've heard from a lot of people who think there's something there.
So yeah, I called up a scientist who did a pretty wild study on this.
Do you know what I'm describing?
I mean, it doesn't go that carnal, but it's, you know, as well in its own way.
Let me tell you about it.
So the idea first came to her when she had this commute where she was walking a lot at night.
And what did it look like on a night when there is a moon?
This is Charlotte Helfrich-Forster, senior professor at the University of Würzburg in Germany.
And she noticed something about her period around this time.
But like, if you think about it, even that's pretty weird, right?
Like that for a lot of us, our periods just happen to be 29 days long, which is the same length as the lunar cycle.
I mean, yeah, it could just be a coincidence.
