Time Slows Down

Anyone ever notice that, whenever time seems to be drraaaaagggggging on, it's usually during a new moon

I think that there are at least anecdotal evidence of it. My mother was a nurse for a while, and new nurses have to do their time on the overnight shift and she said that the patients always exhibited the strangest behaviours during the full moon.

I guess it's more the "time warp" stuff I am looking for something to back up. I feel like I might be the only person making that observation, or maybe I'm the only person stuck in limbo during the full moon! :P But it seems like even the days when coworkers or friends complain that the day is dragging on, it's during the new moon. Which is why I'm curious about it all. :)

Here're a couple links I found.

edit: the links do not support a causation between moon phases and behavior.

I noticed, but, they were still interesting to read, interesting to see the statistics.

I wonder if "influence of the moon" occurs more around the coast because of the influence on the tides?

Ah, if only someone would pay me to watch and observe these things. ;)

I wish I could be there! ;_;

You guys have fun, establish a kick-butt con and hopefully we'll get to go some time. :)
