Moon 'seems to influence sleep'

Given its links with werewolves, vampires and witchcraft, it may not be surprising that the full moon is associated with restless nights.
But now researchers have found scientific evidence that the lunar cycle really does influence sleep.
Just as the myth says, when the full moon is high it is harder to slumber soundly, a study has shown. But the bad night has nothing to do with the moon's eerie glow, or its gravitational influence.
Rather, scientists believe an internal clock that follows the cycles of the moon may be hardwired into our genes.
