Do you know a cup of espresso contains a whopping 80 to 150mg of caffeine? Just about right in causing insomnia.
According to the Wikipedia, there is no strong evidence that a full moon can lead to insomnia. Despite that, many still believe the magnetic pull of the moon affects our moods and increases brain activity, very effective in ruining a good night's sleep.
Although a midday shut-eye can improve memory function and lower blood pressure, the quick fix might reduce our nighttime sleep drive.
So next time before you gulp down that aromatic black brew, look out of the window and double check if the moon is bright and full. I didn't. That's why I am writing and dump linking this post at 4 o'clock in the morning, with the birds already twittering outside.
