now to return to solar flare...
I just read an interesting article about the way this can disrupt human behaviour and emotions...
It is not so well commented but solar flares affect our emotions ( Perhaps instead of medication am i specially responsive to character attack because of solar flare ? 😊 Probably i dont take any drug)
Anyway this article enumerate many physiological factors disrupted by solar flare :

Geomagnetic Storm Effects on Biological Systems
With a grasp on the nature and effects of geomagnetic storms, we now turn our focus to the biological realm. While many of the implications of these celestial events are technological, there’s growing evidence and interest in how they might directly or indirectly influence various life forms on Earth. From the navigational patterns of birds to subtle shifts in human physiology, geomagnetic storms leave few corners of the biosphere untouched.
Disruption of Bird Migration and Marine Life Navigation
One of the most well-documented effects of geomagnetic storms in the animal kingdom is their interference with species that rely on Earth’s magnetic field for navigation [2].
Bird Migration
Many migratory bird species possess an innate magnetic compass that aids in their long-distance journeys. During geomagnetic storms, the disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field can lead these birds astray, often causing them to become disoriented and deviate from their traditional migration paths.
Marine Life Navigation
Similarly, several marine species, such as sea turtles and certain fish, rely on geomagnetic cues for navigation, especially during breeding migrations. Disruptions in the magnetosphere can interfere with these cues, affecting the ability of marine animals to reach their desired destinations or breeding grounds.
Potential Impact on Human Physiology
Humans, while not as overtly dependent on Earth’s magnetic field as some species, are not immune to its fluctuations. Some intriguing, albeit sometimes controversial, research has suggested that geomagnetic storms may have a more subtle, yet significant, influence on our physiology.
Altered Melatonin Levels
Melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles, might be influenced by geomagnetic activity. Some studies have shown correlations between geomagnetic storms and altered melatonin production, which can subsequently affect sleep patterns and overall mood.
Sleep Disturbances
Beyond melatonin, there’s some evidence suggesting a direct link between heightened geomagnetic activity and sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals. This is not just about sleep duration, but also sleep quality, with potential implications for cognitive function and mood regulation.
Direct and Indirect Influences on the Brain
The brain, with its intricate web of neural connections and electric activity, is not an unlikely candidate for being affected by geomagnetic fluctuations [3].
Influence on Neural Activity
Some preliminary research has indicated that geomagnetic storms might influence brain wave patterns, particularly in the alpha frequency range. These alterations, while subtle, could potentially impact cognitive processes like attention, memory, and more.
Electromagnetic Sensitivity
There’s a subset of the population that claims heightened sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, a condition sometimes referred to as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). While the scientific consensus on EHS is still evolving, it raises questions about whether certain individuals might be more susceptible to the effects of geomagnetic disturbances.
Circadian Rhythm Disruptions
Our internal biological clocks, or circadian rhythms, play a pivotal role in various physiological processes, from sleep to metabolism. The potential influence of geomagnetic storms on melatonin levels, as discussed earlier, can also indirectly affect our circadian rhythms, with cascading effects on overall health and well-being.»
