Why Do People Suffer from Motion Sickness?

Examples

1. Reading in a car makes you feel sick because your eyes see the book moving but your body feels still.
2. Sailing on rough seas can make people vomit since their inner ear senses movement but their eyes might not see it clearly.
3. Playing video games while sitting still can cause motion sickness, even though your body isn’t moving, your eyes are seeing action.
