July's full moon is known as the buck moon and will peak on Thursday, July 10. The full moon is a phase when it appears to be fully illuminated from Earth’s perspective.
Experts say July’s full moon could reduce sleep by up to 20 minutes on the evening of the 10th and as much as 90 minutes in the days leading up to and following it. Scientists in Switzerland previously found that, on the night of the full moon, people take on average five more minutes to fall asleep.
