If You Get Car Sick, Try This Before Your Next Ride
Car sickness comes from a mismatch between what your inner ear feels and what your eyes see. This short shows what to do before and during a ride to keep that mismatch small — and what to reach for when you already feel queasy.
What to do
- Face forward and fix your eyes on the horizon or a distant point — not on a screen or a book.
- Get cool, fresh air, and sit where the motion is gentlest (front seat, or over the wheels).
- Breathe slowly and steadily, sip water, and keep your stomach lightly settled before you travel.
- If nausea has already started, drug-free sound therapy (the Dizzout app) is one option designed to help on the spot — most people feel better in about 90 seconds.
