Solar flare heading towards earth -nasa

Did any one notice disturbances in sleep patterns over the last few days?

I have quite a feeling that the action with the sun affects our bodies' electrical/magnetic fields, but I'm not exactly sure of the science behind it, but seems plausible from my own experiences. I had two nights of horrendous sleep and so did my partner, we had this last year as well when some strange stuff happened with the sun. I wasn't sure why and we haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary to bring unusual disturbances. But of course could be my own curiosity to link everything together.

Anyway just curious if any one else noticed this?

My girlfriend and I have both had terrible sleep over the last 3-4 nights but it wasn't due to the sun. I think you would have a hard time proving that hypothesis. I don't know how you would separate people who have genuine stresses, insomniacs and people who drank a bit too much coffee from people you believe are effected by the sun.

You forgot about the hardcore tweakers, which some of the membership falls under.

Not really trying to prove the hypothesis, just curious to see if others - of course excluding general sleep problems and high stress levels - were noticing the same thing.

Interestingly enough, I just did a quick search and found some interesting stuff:
check this out:

Quote Source: Article by James Borges, originally published in Journal of Borderland Research (Vol. LVI, No. 1, 2000, First Quarter)

The recent Solar Maximum gives us a wonderful opportunity to observe the Sun in action. Borderland Sciences has been investigating the relationship of the Sun and human behaviour for many years, and we are quite confident that we can predict behaviours based on sunspot fluctuations over very short and long durations within the Solar Cycle of 11 years.

Historically, research has been conducted to link the 11 year cycle of the sun to changes in human behavior and society. The most famous research had been done by professor A.L. Tchijevsky, a Russian scientist, who presented a paper to the American Meteorological Society at Philadelphia in the late 19th century. He prepared a study of the history of mass human movement compared to the solar cycle, beginning with the division of the Solar cycle into four parts:
1) Minimum sunspot activity;
2) increasing sunspot activity;
3) maximum sunspot activity;
4) Decreasing sunspot activity.

He then divided up the agitation of mass human movements into five phases:
1. provoking influence of leaders upon masses
2. the “exciting” effect of emphasized ideas upon the masses
3. the velocity of incitability due to the presence of a single psychic center 4. the extensive areas covered by mass movements
5. Integration and individualization of the masses

By these comparisons he constructed an “Index of Mass Human Excitability” covering each year from 500 B.C. to 1922 A.D. He investigated the histories of 72 countries in that period, noting signs of human unrest such as wars, revolutions, riots, expeditions and migrations, plus the number of humans involved. Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the most significant events occurred during the years of maximum sunspot activity. He maintained that the “exciting” period may be explained by an acute change in the nervous and psychic character of humanity, which takes place at sunspot maxima.

There is some more technical information:

Professor d’Arsonval quotes Crile: “It is clear that radiation produces the electrical current which operates adaptively the organism as a whole, producing memory, reason, imagination, emotion, the special senses, secretions, muscular action, the response to infection, normal growth, and the growth of benign tumours and cancers, all of which are governed adaptively by the electric charges that are generated by the short wave or ionizing radiation in protoplasm.”

Continued...

...Source is same as above articles.

While the sunspot maxima is occurring, the solar flares and the subsequent geo-magnetic reactions effect the many subtle reactions that take place within our bodies at the atomic level.

It has been theorized that this has a direct relationship to the metabolism of the body. We know it is the subtle magnetism of positive and negative charges that pulls certain particles across membranes in cells to produce energy. These magnetic exchanges result in the stimulation of enzymes and the production of energy like ATP. The increase of penetrating waves during a solar storm causes an excitation in these electro-chemical reactions within the body.

Tchijevsky also identified correlations between changes in solar magnetic activity with biological processes. In light of Lakhovsky’s theory in his own words, “…with the aid of elementary analogies, that the cell, essential organic unit in all living beings, is nothing but an electromagnetic resonator, capable of emitting and absorbing radiations of very high frequency.” A plausible mechanism is provided to understanding the stimulating effects the radiation from the Sun has on human behavior.

In an abstract entitled “Automated Experiment on Macro-fluctuation Monitoring” Bruns A.V.& Visolimsky B.M. also find a close relationship with the solar activity and bio-chemical reactions. “Phenomenologically obtained data could be treated like an effect of the surface (controlled by solar activity) on the physico-chemical kinetics.

This effect was realized, evidently through the mechanisms close to nuclear magnetic resonance in geomagnetic field.” In another historical study Suitbert Ertel writes in his article “Synchronous Bursts of Activity in Independent Cultures; Evidence for Extraterrestrial Connections” that evidence has been reported suggesting a link between historical oscillations of scientific creativity and solar cyclic variation.

Eddy’s discovery of abnormal secular periods of solar inactivity (Maunders minimum type) offered the opportunity to put the present hypothesis to a crucial test. Using time series of flourish years of creators in science, literature, and painting (A.D. 600-1800) It was found as expected:

1. Cultural flourish curves show marked discontinuities (bursts) after the onset of secular solar excursions synchronously in Europe and China;
2. during periods of extended solar excursions, bursts of creativity in painting, literature, and science succeeded one another with lags of about 10-15 years;
3. The reported regularities of cultural output are prominent throughout with eminent creators. They decrease with ordinary professionals. The hypothesized extraterrestrial connection of human culture has thus been strengthened.

The evidence seems to show that during the maxima of sunspot activity human behavior is stimulated.

So it looks like there is a possibility for the sun to affect our behaviour in a predictable way (I think this is debatable though) on a microcosmic scale but to delve into the abnormal sleep patterns that I and others might experience (excluding environmental & emotional stress factors) would require more research. I do feel that some people may be more sensitive to the effects of such natural occurrences (eg. people feeling earthquakes before they happen).

im a telemarketer and i work night shift so we work on the times zones of the country which is the U.S and i made 19 sales before 5:00 eastern time and then i went to lunch at 8:00 et and then we went on pacific time which is cali to texas and i had a total of four sales all the way to 11:00 et. time ....... i dont know if it was just the people over there or if they were getting to much sunlight or "radiation" but really no one likes telemarketers but really i couldnt even say more than hie my name iis _ and they hang up

If it's a plasma charge it will hit the earth magnetic field, causing disturbance, since the magnetic field is weaken and at times has holes in it , it will resonate at frequncies that cause disturbance. It can affect the eco sistem, can cause earth quakes, and abnormal behavior in living creatures such as strong headeakes, dizziness and who knows what.

This has been expected and it's just the start.

I can't remember exactly where I read it, but apparently they have been noticing strange cosmic rays coming from our sun since the 40's. I think it might have been Drunvalo that referred to some scientific studies that they have done to try and prove what the cosmic rays are doing - they are noticing children being born (especially in china) with more advanced DNA that differs from their parents. pretty weird huh? I'll try and dig up the evidence... I'm wondering whether solar flares or CME's would actually increase the effect (if what I am talking about is true)

I didn't sleep a wink last night, i've had a lot happening, so figured "stress". Until i read this page of the thread.

Maybe there's something to it?

I'm watching around me, always looking for "abnormal" behaviour in people.

Looks like 2012 is coming early- I will have to monitor the earthquakes today!

I've had a HORRIBLY restless sleep over the last 2 days. Like 3 hours a night. But the weird thing is that I wake up not all that tied...not as tired as i feel like i should be anyway

So this is the perfect day to go home, throw my dinner on the floor, spank the kids, yell at my wife, go out and tie on a huge bender then blame it on sunspots?

I am just kidding, of course.

I don't believe it has any drastic effect on our daily lives JMHO.

OMG, the solar flare caused Pakistan to shift all the way to Africa. Is that what you're saying?
What are you trying to say?

blah It is 8am and still haven't had any good sleep. i am typically a night person, but usually asleep by 4am. Maybe this CME is causing my bad sleep....

reply to post by Reflections


you know what, I have been having problems getting to sleep the last 3 nights. I thought it was a bit strange!

reply to post by harryhaller


Yeah exactly the same - last two nights were incredible - extremely restless for no reason. Anyway there is more to it. I'm going to dig into the research tomorrow and see what other compelling evidence I can find. Definitely not saying this is the ONLY reason why people had a bad sleep over the last few nights tho - that's obviously a claim I that I have no evidence to support.

From my point of view - there is a much deeper connection between 'all that is' and from what I have researched, this would seem strange if it didn't have some impact on us.
What's even more interesting is that on a general social scale, if you understood how the weather, i.e. sun affected the working systems of the body, then another form of control could be established, which means another area we should be aware of. Although there is a possibility I'm clutching at straws here...

yup pakistan is know on the african continent .........sorry i used a run along sentence but since i have ur attention take a look at this

OK... I'm confused. Hasn't it always been known that in the Aug-Nov period, tropical storms/hurricanes originate from the west coast of Africa? An that at the beginning of Hurricane season in June they mostly originate down in the tropics/ Carri bean/lower Gulf. What is new about this?

Also I have to agree about the sleep thing. I honestly couldn't sleep well the last few days. I was actually getting up and down, pacing, and kind of irritable that I couldn't sleep. It was kind of like when I get Restless Leg Syndrome and it is very frustrating.

As far as the correlation between solar flares and tectonic shifting, I don't really know; but Phage did research and from what I saw in his conclusions it looked like there was no relation. As a matter of fact it looked as though there were bigger episodes of tectonic activity during the calm cycle of the sun.

very odd you said that my employees are complaing of small stomach and slight headches then my wife and i saw cnn talking and wondered the i read this and was like wtf could it be.

I never get this, the CME didn't hit until 17:30 Universal Time but people are talking about effects over the last few days. This is a magnetic storm, it has nothing to do with gravity, doesn't affect it and it doesn't cause Earthquakes.
I mean come on, how can it? I think people get confused between magnetic fields and gravity which are unrelated, if they are it's unproven and the fact it's unproven shows that any connection is so insignificant it hasn't been recorded.

If the magnetic storm can affect how you feel it will have started at 17:30 UT, not a few days ago. The sun isn't even unusally active, the excitement is because solar cycle 24 has started and we're starting to get activity but it's not significant in a life changing way. Looking at the pathetic example of a sunspot this morning through the telescope (Baader solar filter film in place) it astounded me that it can cause so much panic. It really will be quite amusing observing the panic when we start seeing the sun being more active.
