Many people in Turkey reported that they couldn't sleep last night, while increasing complaints on social media drew attention. The reason for this is attributed to a geomagnetic storm affecting the Earth, while experts stated that such effects could lead to sleep problems in some individuals, but no definitive connection has been found.
Many people across Turkey reported having difficulty falling asleep and waking up frequently last night. While the "I can't sleep" messages shared on social media quickly became a trending topic, claims of geomagnetic storm as the cause of the situation emerged.
STRONG LEVEL STORM EFFECTS WERE OBSERVED
According to space weather data, there was an increase in geomagnetic activity due to solar eruptions affecting the Earth between March 19-21. It was reported that medium and strong level storm effects were observed during this period.
IT CAUSES DISRUPTION IN SLEEP PATTERNS
According to scientific studies, geomagnetic storms can lead to headaches, fatigue, and disruptions in sleep patterns in some sensitive individuals.
However, experts emphasize that there is no clear scientific evidence that this effect creates a definite and direct result across the general population. It is noted that the effects may vary from person to person.
USAGE OF DIGITAL SCREENS IS ALSO AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
On the other hand, it is stated that the situation may also be related to various factors such as seasonal transitions, stress, changes in weather, and increased use of digital screens.
While no widespread health warning has been issued in Turkey, it is assessed that the complaints of "inability to sleep" cannot be attributed to a single cause, but solar storms may trigger such effects.
