24 Tips For Coping With Motion Sickness On Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

It is even more dangerous to follow fast-moving objects such as cell phone games with your eyes.

Try not to keep your eyes close to the screen, but rather look vaguely into the distance.

14. It is often possible to stay sober if you fall asleep immediately after getting on a vehicle.

Pay attention to your boarding position!

The biggest cause of motion sickness is "shaking.

Be aware that it depends on the position you sit in even if you ride the same vehicle.

15. Choose a seat that is less likely to sway.

      ✅ Seat position is right above the front wheel and right above the rear wheel.
      ❌ Seat directly above the front wheel and above the rear wheel.

      • Since shaking occurs from the large tires, seats away from
        the tires have the least amount of shaking.

    • Airplane

      ❌ Around the center of gravity slightly forward of the center of the aircraft
      ❌ Rear part of the aircraft

      • The center of gravity is in the front, so the rear part
        of the plane will sway more.
      • The area above the wings does not allow passengers
        to enjoy the scenery, which also affects sickness.

    • Ship

      ✅ Opposite to airplanes, in the back (aft), as close to the surface of the sea as possible.
      ❌ Forward (bow), away from the surface of the sea, on the second or third floor, on the roof deck, etc.

      • Ships are subjected to waves from the front, so the front part
        of the ship will sway, while the back part will be more stable.

What to do if you get drunk

If you get drunk even after taking precautions, you want to relieve the symptoms as much as possible.

16. Bite the area around the first joint of your thumb for about 15 seconds, with enough force to be slightly painful.

17. The slightly concave area on the back of the hand between the thumb and index finger is a pressure point for motion sickness.

It is also effective when pressed for prevention.

18. If symptoms are mild, change your mood by talking or stretching.

19. Open a window to get a cool breeze.

If you are on a ship, go out on the deck and enjoy the breeze.

20. Gaze at a distant view or something that doesn't change much.

21. Keep your head still and cool it down.

22. Loosen your clothes.

Last resort

You can try this but try not to rely too much.

23. Rely on anti-sickness medicine.

It is not advisable to rely too much on medicine, but it is recommended
for those who have not been able to avoid carsickness or seasickness
in spite of all measures taken so far.

For those who have hesitated to travel because they are worried about motion sickness!

Please give them a try.
