Throughout evolution and history\, humans have progressively isolated themselves from natural cycles through b uilt environments that isolate them from the external environment. Key to t his isolation is our ability to manipulate artificial light and extend our activity into the nighttime. Recent studies from our laboratory suggest tha t moonlight not only had a similar effect on activity in ancestral times bu t also that the phases of the moon continue to shape our daily sleep in hig hly urbanized communities.
