New Research Suggests Full Moon Can Affect SleepYou may have noticed brighter night skies recently as weexperienced a full moon. NASA reports the event, called the Wolf Moon, began Thursday afternoon andended Saturday morning. But did you notice any changes in your personal sleep patterns in the days leading up to the full moon?

lead up to 臨近;作為...的先導

lead to (介詞)=result in 導致

lead sb. to do 帶領某人做某事

As the latest full moon was beginning, a new study was released suggesting that a full moon can affect human sleep cycles. Researchers confirmed that the nights leading up to a full moon have more natural light available after the sun goes down.

The research was led by biology professor Horacio de la Iglesia of the University of Washington."Whenwe looked at thedata it was right there - we didn't expect that pattern at all," de laIglesia said in a video about the findings. He said the study provided clear evidence that aperson's sleep-wake cycle is "synchronized" with changes the moon goes through.be synchronized with 與.同步The moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but it takes29.5 days to complete a full cycle from New Moon to New Moon. The new study measured the sleep patterns of test subjects as the moon progressed through at least one whole 29.5-day cycle. Some subjects were tested through two moon cycles.On average, people involved in the study slept about 52 minutes lesson nights before a full moon. They also went to bed about 30 minutes later. The research showed that people had the latest bed times and the shortest amount ofsleep during the nights that were three to five days before a full moon."I became one of the subjects of the study and whenI looked back on myown data I could not believe how much my sleep changed," de la Iglesiasaid.Effect on sleep in different areasPast studies by de la Iglesia's team and other research groups have shown that access to electricity has a clear effect onsleep. So the team included this element in their research.

sb. have access to 有機會接觸(to介詞)

sth. be accessible to sb. 某物可得到

The study involved 98 individuals living in three different communities of Toba indigenous people in Argentina. Each community had different access to electricity. One rural community had no electricity access, while a second had only limited access. A third community was in a more populated area and hadfull access to electricity.

populate 生活在;居住於

densely/heavily-populate 人口密集的

Sleep data was collected electronically from the individuals throughwrist monitors. The research team said it believes this method resulted in more effective data than some past studies that depended only on user-reported sleep data.

以-ic結尾的形容詞變副詞一般是加ally,如:

basic--basically

sceientific--scientifically

automatic---automatically

In addition to the indigenous communities, the researchers also examined sleep data on 464 college students in the Seattle, Washington area. That data had been collected for a separate study. The researchers said they discovered the same moon cycle patterns in the sleep data from the students.in addition=additionally 除.之外"Although the effect is more robust in communities without access to electricity, the effect is present in communities with electricity," de la Iglesia said.The scientists say further research is needed to help explain other possible causes for the changes in sleep patterns in the test subjects.Such causes could involve biological differences in individuals or social patterns within communities.
