Some may think this is woo woo or superstition , but I lost count of how many times I’ve been like, “why are all the kids acting crazy (even the ones who are normally sane)?” and it turns out it’s a super moon or just a regular full moon.

I think it’s because kids still have that animal brain that sometimes overrides their logical brain.

Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon.[12]

TL;DR: Overall, studies show different answers, which could be the cause of:

Unrelated, manually picked data from some area

Small sample size

Probably a case of: only people that experience out of the ordinary rates around those periods or days will speak up about it due to the phenomenon having some popularity, while others forget or don’t talk about it.
