How The Moon Secretly Controls Your Body

The circalunar clock in your body is not a myth. It's been running for 600 million years, older than vertebrates, older than land animals, predating the common ancestor of worms and humans. And it's still adjusting your sleep, your melatonin, and possibly your reproductive biology whether you acknowledge it or not. SOURCES & FURTHER READING • Cajochen, C. et al. (2013).
