Anyone else get motion sick when reading in a car?

[Anirudh Badri]

This used to happen to me a lot, but I kept at it and eventually it just stopped. If you want to try something else, then you could try audiobooks which should certainly work for you.

I also get the same thing. At least I used to when I was still growing up. Because of this I learned a long time ago not to do it! But naturally, sometimes you need to like when looking for a place on a map or reading an message update on behalf of the driver, etc. Sometimes I will start to get a headache if I do it for too long, around 10 minutes or so, but I usually don't let it get that far. Strangely enough, I can read in a bus without an issue. I mostly read and typed messages on my phone so I thought it was because I wasn't constantly reading and typing, but I once decided to read a book on the bus (I was too addicted to the book not to!) and it was fine. I can read on a train too. I haven't gotten car sick in quite a while unlike when I was younger and anytime we had to take a long trip I needed medication for it with or without reading! So not at all sure what to suggest.

I still get motion sick while reading in a car. My head spins and i get very nauseous, so I have nothing to suggest.. read at traffic lights maybe? Lol. Or i think the audio book suggested by Anirudh is a good suggestion. But it does take away from the excitement of reading the book yourself

I only do audio books when in the car. Every time I have tried reading, I get an intense headache that no amount of medicine can ease. Fortunately most books now come with an audio option.

I got a weak eyesight and motion sickness while reading isn't helping. I prefer to sleep or listen to my weird songs during the ride.

I trained myself from a very early age, (7? 8?) to read in the car for hours. Thank goodness! I think it is all about training your eyes to track a moving object. I get some of my best reading done in the car. I've been doing this for 42 years so, I think it worked! LOL

[Star88]

Yes! I hate it! I could read so much and get so much work done if I didn't get sick.

[Envision Tressy]

Hahahahahah not at all with me, I actually enjoy reading something in my car but the sad part is that I have to drive most of the time

I get motion sick regardless of what I'm doing, but trying to concentrate on a book makes it 100x worse.
I got around this by turning to audiobooks if I need to stay awake otherwise I try and sleep

[Doaa Wael]

I get the same thing too. It helps if the windows are open and the air is flowing. If u r reading on a Kindle device, try to adjust the brightness. Somehow I feel this is related to ear and balance issues. so try earplugs or noise cancellation headphones

I'm like that sometimes, especially with digital books. I prefer listening to eBooks using Google Books or a PDF reader when I'm in a vehicle.
