In 2018, Dr. Wehr noticed that mood cycling synchronized with lunar rhythms in bipolar disorder. Based on his observation, Wehr helped develop <a href=\"https:\/\/chrisaikenmd.com\/darktherapy\/\">dark therapy<\/a> for mania.<\/p>\n<p>Aiken shared that when he saw Wehr\u2019s paper, he thought he must have pinned the cause on the blue light of the full moon. After all, he reasoned, there\u2019s a correlation between a full moon and psych ER visits. And full moons were once held responsible for werewolf myths and the term \u201clunatic\u201d (I\u2019d never put that together \u2014 you?).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lunar gravitational tides<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Aiken soon figured out Wehr had something else in mind \u2014 lunar gravitational tides. It seems the same force that affects ocean waves also alters body temperature, sleep, and circadian rhythms.<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, \u201chealthy\u201d people sleep a little less and fall asleep a little later as the moon approaches its full and new phase. It\u2019s a 15-day rhythm called the <a href=\"https:\/\/astrofix.net\/synodic-cycle\/\">semi-synodic cycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well, sleep loss can trigger mania, so Wehr\u2019s team\u2019 looked at whether patients with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder have amplified reactions to this lunar sleep rhythm.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dr. Wehr\u2019s study<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In Dr. Wehr\u2019s 2018 study, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6089884\/\">Bipolar mood cycles associated with lunar entrainment of a circadian rhythm<\/a>,\u201d three patients with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder whose manic switches recurred near full or new moons were tracked for 122 to 805 days each.<\/p>\n<p>Daily sleep-onset and sleep-duration records were aligned to each patient\u2019s nearest lunar <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencenotes.org\/syzygy-in-astronomy-definition-pronunciation-examples\/\">syzygy<\/a> (fascinating, tap the link) and averaged across patients. Also tested was whether mania or sleep disruption came first.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sleep duration shortened by about an hour and sleep onset moved about 40 minutes later as syzygies approached \u2014 an amplified version of the pattern seen in healthy people.<\/p>\n<p>Aiken points out that in one patient, sleep delay predicted mania days later; in another, mania and shortened sleep were tightly linked the same day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statology.org\/understanding-mediation-analysis-when-and-how-variables-influence-each-other\/\">Mediation analysis<\/a> suggested sleep disruption explained roughly 10% of the mood-lunar link in one patient, with a bidirectional, self-reinforcing (two factors continuously strengthening each other over time) pattern in the other.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_336651\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336651\" class=\"size-full wp-image-336651\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"connection between bipolar disorder and the moon\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336651\" class=\"size-full wp-image-336651\" src=\"https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720.jpg\" alt=\"connection between bipolar disorder and the moon\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720.jpg 800w, https:\/\/chipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dreamstime_s_191597720-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-336651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Aiken recommends blue light blocking glasses to deepen sleep, worn 1-3 hours before bed and followed by a pitch dark bedroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Okay, takeaways \u2014 since Dr. Aiken was addressing clinical psychiatric professionals, he was referring to practice implications. By the way, reading the inside scoop can be interesting and helpful (and easy to find).<\/p>\n<p>Blue light may not be the only reason full moons affect mental health. Aiken followed his observation with a quote from <em>Hamlet<\/em> (by Hamlet): \u201cThere are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So who really knows the whole story?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Aiken recommends blue light blocking glasses to deepen sleep, worn 1-3 hours before bed and followed by a pitch dark bedroom. The strategy worked in a few controlled trials of insomnia, and may prevent bipolar episodes as well.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to balancing gravitational tides? The good doctor admits he has no idea.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What else is waiting to be discovered?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier, I said there are three major reasons I was all over Dr. Aiken\u2019s\u2019 article: bipolar disorder doesn\u2019t get sufficient research and attention, my neuroscience geekness, and Dr. Aiken wrote it.<\/p>\n<p>After spending a lot of time with the piece, a couple of additional thoughts came to mind. Sure, the subject matter isn\u2019t a cure for depression, but it illustrates how pieces to the emotional and mental illness puzzle are being put together.<\/p>\n<p>Finally. It may be taken for granted by some, but I think the moon being involved in our mood, body temperature, circadian rhythms, sleep, and more is fantastic. And what other extraterrestrial wonders \u2014 miracles \u2014 \u00a0are waiting to be discovered?<\/p>\n<p>How do you feel about it?<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>I encourage you to check out Dr. Aiken\u2019s original article on Psych Partners: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/psych-partners.com\/does-the-moon-trigger-bipolar-cycling\/?fbclid=IwdGRleATsexpwZG9mAWZkaWQWUMeXzzXxMkx3y0PwHpxFmXOo9Xz3C2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR5_aWUJBKjv0Z_q24Ot--Ef0ccweR94BprDXp6p-2A6Cuj5lJ4M3BTEojOk1w_aem_eB04S9awxsGtVcErJgQPCQ\">Does the Moon Trigger Bipolar Cycling?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned that we\u2019ve featured the work of Dr. Aiken before.
