This phenomenon isn't just because the ride is comfortable. Let's explore the reasons why.

Why do we often feel wide awake before a car ride, only to become drowsy as soon as the journey begins. What causes this almost irresistible urge to close your eyes and drift into sleep?

In a car, your body senses motion, but if your eyes don't see it, this disconnect can confuse the brain, causing motion sickness in some and drowsiness in others.
