Motion sickness happens when your brain gets confused. Your eyes might see stillness, but your body feels like it's moving, like on a boat or in a car. This mix-up makes you feel dizzy and sick. It’s like telling your brain two different stories at once, and it doesn’t know which one to believe.
Examples
- Reading a book in a moving car makes some people feel sick because their brain gets confused.
- A child on a merry-go-round might get dizzy and want to stop because they’re spinning but seeing stillness.
- Taking a boat ride can make someone feel like they're rocking back and forth even when sitting still.
