After being in a boat on the water all day, i still feel like am on the water even the next day, why?

Question

I do get seasick on the ocean. No problems with motion sickness on land or large aircraft. Small aircraft I sometimes get airsick. But after getting off any body of water, my head still feels like it is going up and down with the waves.

Answer 1

Motion sickness happens when your brain receives conflicting information from different body systems that help you maintain your sense of balance and equilibrium. Your brain relies on information from multiple body systems to balance itself and establish equilibrium. Your inner ears send signals to your brain telling you that you are moving while your eyes send signals telling you that you are standing still.

Adaptation to the sensory conflict is variable, and motion sickness tends to subside after 36 to 72 hours of continuous exposure.

Or in english: Your inner ear and your eyes don't agree on your current status (in motion/ standing still), and it takes up to 3 days for the balance to be corrected after you have been "exposed" to the open sea.

Answer 2

the inner ear makes adjustments to the constant motion. It stops after a few days it is nothing unusual

Answer 3

you think thats weird..stand in a doorframe pressing your arms outwards angainst the edges as hard and as long as you can then step away and your arms will float

Answer 4

its got to do with the liquid in your ears
