Motion sickness happens when your brain gets confused by different kinds of movement. Imagine you're on a boat, your eyes see stillness, but your body feels the waves moving around you. This mix-up makes you feel sick. To prevent it, sit in the middle of the boat or close your eyes so your brain doesn’t get mixed signals. If that doesn’t work, just take deep breaths or grab something to hold on to.
Examples
- Reading a book on a bumpy bus makes your brain confused, causing you to feel sick.
- Looking out the window of a boat helps you avoid getting dizzy from waves.
- Closing your eyes while riding a carousel stops your brain from seeing stillness and feeling motion at the same time.
