In 17 patients with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, time-series analyses detected synchronies between mood cycles and three lunar cycles that modulate the amplitude of the moon's semi-diurnal gravimetric tides: the 14.8-day spring-neap cycle, the 13.7-day declination cycle and the 206-day cycle of perigee-syzygies ('supermoons'). The analyses also revealed shifts among 1:2, 1:3, 2:3 and other modes of coupling of mood cycles to the two bi-weekly lunar cycles. These shifts appear to be responses to the conflicting demands of the mood cycles' being entrained simultaneously to two different bi-weekly lunar cycles with slightly different periods. Measurements of circadian rhythms in body temperature suggest a biological mechanism through which transits of one of the moon's semi-diurnal gravimetric tides might have driven the patients' bipolar cycles, by periodically entraining the circadian pacemaker to its 24.84-h rhythm and altering the pacemaker's phase-relationship to sleep in a manner that is known to cause switches from depression to mania.

双相情绪周期和潮汐周期。

在17例患有快速骑自行车的双相情感障碍的患者中，时间序列分析检测到了情绪周期和三个月球周期之间的同步性，这三个周期调节着月亮的半日重力潮汐的振幅：14.8天的春季-午睡周期，13.7天的偏斜周期和206天周期的近距离合奏（“超级月球”）。分析还揭示了情绪周期与两个双周阴历周期之间的1：2、1：3、2：3和其他耦合模式。这些变化似乎是对情绪周期的矛盾需求的反应，该周期被同时带入两个不同的双周阴历周期，周期略有不同。对人体温度的昼夜节律的测量表明了一种生物学机制，通过这种生物学机制，月球之一通过了
