Why are road trips and train trips so tiring if they mostly just involve sitting down and looking out the window?

674 views

Between a hectic day when I have to be on my feet all day and a day spent just sitting in the car or on the train and looking out the window, the latter feels 10x more exhausting.

Why is this? If you’re not the driver, you barely have to do anything on those long trips, and yet they’re still so tiring for no reason.

Your body adjusts and compensates against every shift of the car/carriage, like you’re constantly bracing yourself. That’s a lot of work, and tiring.
