Can a solar storm affect your mood?

Solar storms, or geomagnetic storms, can disrupt satellite and radio communications and sometimes create pretty auroras. But the idea they scramble your emotions is mostly hokum. If anything, side effects like sleep disturbances from increased electromagnetic activity or just stress from tech failures might put you in a bad mood – but the storms themselves aren't mood ninjas. So, blame your late-night phone scrolling, not the sun's tantrums.
