Truth or Myth: Does an eclipse really affect your mood?
The effect of eclipses on humans is an age-old debate and now Jane wants to know what you think about this?
I am so emotionally charged around the time of a full moon. It's almost like I sense it coming and when it catches me unaware, I can't understand why I am so all over the place.
On Monday, I saw the mesmerising eclipse which took place over North America. This happened for the first time in over a century. My Twitter feed was flooded with images of the beautiful phenomenon. Even President Donald Trump took time out of his busy schedule to look up to the sky.
POTUS asked how the view of #Eclipse2017 gave reporters a thumbs up, twice. Was asked again what he thinks- mouthed "beautiful" pic.twitter.com/W16LCnoCzz

When the eclipse happened, I was a total mess. I cried every time someone hugged me, cried when I spoke, felt pain for the world. It was that kind of day.

Many over the years have speculated that eclipses do have the ability to affect our moods. According to Daily Mail, a study revealed that lunar changes do in fact affect our moods and even our sleeping patterns - with someone saying that they sleep for five minutes less during a full moon.
On the other hand, some have said that mood changes during an eclipse are purely a women thing. But what about men?
What do you think? Do you think your mood changed over the time of the eclipse? Is this just a female thing or does it affect men as well?
