Children may sleep less when there is a full moon, but only by a few minutes, according to a new study conducted on kids from 12 countries, including India. 一项研究表明，孩童在满月时可能会减少几分钟的睡眠时间。这项研究对包括印度在内的12个国家的孩童进行了调查。 However, the study failed to find a link between the occurrence of the full moon and kids’ activity levels, debunking the myth that children are more hyper during a full moon. 然而，该研究并没有找到满月和孩童活动水平的联系，这使得孩童在满月期间更亢奋的谜团浮出水面。 Researchers from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute in Canada analysed information from over 5,800 children, ages 9 to 11, from 12 countries - India, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, Kenya, Portugal, South Africa, the UK and the US. 加拿大东安大略儿童医院的研究人员分析了5800名儿童的数据。这些儿童年龄在九岁到十二岁不等，分别来自印度、澳大利亚、巴西、加拿大、中国、哥伦比亚、芬兰、肯尼亚、波兰、南美、英国和美国。 The children wore accelerometers - devices similar to fitness trackers that record body movement and can be used to monitor sleep - 24 hours a day, for at least seven days. |
