daytime sleepiness
Anastasia Lebedeva: during magnetic storms, many people stop falling asleep normally.

Over the past few days, scientists have recorded plasma emissions on the Sun. These emissions “stirred up” the Earth's magnetosphere and caused a strong geomagnetic storm. Doctor Lebedeva said that during such periods of magnetic storms, many people can feel a deterioration in their health, and often their psychoemotional health suffers. During magnetic storms, outbreaks of severe irritation or a decline in tone and performance may occur. In addition, daytime sleepiness and problems falling asleep normally at night are possible, the doctor warned.

“Irritability, anxiety and unstable emotional state, difficulty falling asleep and restless sleep are possible,” Lebedeva specified in a comment to RT.
Also, the doctor added, against the background of geomagnetic fluctuations, symptoms of chronic diseases – arthritis, migraines, cardiovascular pathologies – often worsen.

“If you have problems with blood pressure, monitor it and take medication if necessary,” the expert shared her advice.
Lebedeva noted that on days of magnetic storms, more time should be devoted to rest and relaxation – activities associated with intense loads should, if possible, be postponed to a more favorable period for the body.

Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalance in the body.
