carsickness

Carsickness is a form of motion sickness that occurs when there's a mismatch between the movement your eyes see and the signals from your inner ear, which detects motion. For example, reading a book inside a moving vehicle can cause your eyes to focus on a stationary object while your inner ear perceives motion, confusing your brain. This conflict leads to symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and sweating. Factors such as anxiety, fatigue, and a predisposition to motion sickness can increase susceptibility. Managing carsickness involves looking out the window to see motion, ensuring good airflow, and avoiding heavy meals before travel.
