Popular belief holds that the lunar cycle affects human physiology, behavior, and health, including sleep. To date, only a few and conflicting analyses have been published about the association between lunar phases and sleep. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between lunar phases and sleep characteristics.
In this retrospective, cross-sectional analysis, data from 319 patients who had been referred for sleep study were included. Individuals with apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15/h were excluded. Socio-demographic parameters were recorded. All participants underwent one-night standard polysomnography. Associations between lunar cycle (new moon, full moon and alternate moon) and sleep parameters were examined in unadjusted and adjusted models.
Fifty-seven percent of patients were males. Mean age for men was 45 ± 14 years and 51 ± 12 years for women. In total, 224 persons had their sleep study done during alternate moon, 47 during full moon, and 48 during new moon. Full moon was associated with lower sleep efficiency [median (%) (IQR): new moon 82 (18), full moon 74 (19), alternate moon 82 (15); P < 0.001], less deep sleep [median (%) (IQR): new moon 9 (9), full moon 6 (4), alternate moon 11 (9); P < 0.001], and increased REM latency [median (min) (IQR): new moon 98 (74), full moon 137 (152), alternate moon 97 (76); P < 0.001], even after adjustment for several covariables.
The results are consistent with a recent report and the widely held belief that sleep characteristics may be associated with the full moon.
人们普遍认为，月相周期会影响人类的生理、行为和健康，包括睡眠。迄今为止，关于月相与睡眠之间的关联，仅有少数且相互矛盾的分析报告发表。我们的目的是分析月相与睡眠特征之间的关系。
在这项回顾性横断面分析中，纳入了319名因睡眠研究而被转诊患者的数据。排除呼吸暂停低通气指数≥15次/小时的个体。记录社会人口统计学参数。所有参与者均接受了一晚的标准多导睡眠图检查。在未调整和调整模型中，检查月相周期（新月、满月和半月）与睡眠参数之间的关联。
57%的患者为男性。男性的平均年龄为45±14岁，女性为51±12岁。总共有224人在半月期间进行了睡眠研究，47人在满月期间进行，48人在新月期间进行。即使在对多个协变量进行调整后，满月仍与较低的睡眠效率[中位数（%）（四分位间距）：新月82（18），满月74（19），半月82（15）；P<0.001]、较少的深度睡眠[中位数（%）（四分位间距）：新月9（9），满月6（4），半月11（9）；P<0.001]以及延长的快速眼动睡眠潜伏期[中位数（分钟）（四分位间距）：新月98（74），满月137（152），半月97（76）；P<0.001]相关。
这些结果与最近的一份报告以及普遍观点一致，即睡眠特征可能与满月有关。
