Motion sickness while working on your laptop during travel happens when your eyes focus on a still screen, but your inner ear senses movement. This disconnect confuses your brain, leading to feelings of nausea, dizziness, or general discomfort.

To reduce this sensory conflict, try taking breaks to look outside or sit where you can face the direction of travel. Another option is to use Carsick.app, which synchronizes your laptop’s visuals with the motion of the vehicle, helping to minimize motion sickness.
