Werewolf by Night

Last night was rough.  I had a hard time sleeping at all.  And when I did, it was one of those sleeps where your brain is still actively trying to solve all the problems it didn't have time to focus on during the day and you wake up more tired than when you started and there goes your resolution to cut down on the caffeine and then you decide that maybe that day will come but this is not that day.  My wife thinks it has something to do with the full moon, which I think is a bit looney (bad pun).  So then in Pre-Calculus class we talk about modeling the phases of the moon with a Sine Regression and I ask who had a hard time sleeping last night and I was stunned that over half the students raised their hand (but I have no base-line data to compare).  So if you're interested, follow the link below to find out if the phases of the moon do affect our sleep...and other things...
