What can you do in the car if you're prone to motion sickness?

The only way I can get over my motionsickness is to look at the road. You could get books on your i-pod or on tape to listen to while on the long drive. Playing road games is fun too. The alphabet game has always been my favorite, and you can play it alone or with friends.What can you do in the car if you're prone to motion sickness?Motion sickness is often caused by disorientation because of contrast between moving and non-moving objects, in this case the car and the moving objects outside. If you read or use a games system, these will also shake and cause disorientation.

The best thing to do is to close your eyes so that you don't experience the disorientation. Use an airline eye mask if you have one. Reduce your sleep the night before and don't take caffeine loaded drinks like coffee, tea or cola so that you can sleep most of the way is another idea.

It's really best not to take unnecessary medication. Your body always pays a price for unnecessary drug use, prescription or otherwise.

Some people also find sucking mints reduces the affects of motion sickness.What can you do in the car if you're prone to motion sickness?someone told me one time that when i begin to feel motion sick that i should:
