Looking into bright light and getting triggered for sneezing is called the photic sneeze reflex.
I’m one of the 18% (?) of the population with it, and it is hereditary.
I actually kind of like it, as if I need to sneeze all I need to do is look at a bright light.
- wruza 2y agoIs it relative brightness or absolute?
- tetris11 2y agospecifically sky, a bright screen won't trigger it
- tomek_ycomb 2y agoIt definitively works with bright lights, but intensity seems important (maybe also spectrum.) I find only a light that would hurt to stare at works
- amelius 2y agoMaybe try a HDR screen (?)
- euroderf 2y agoIsn't it caused by the eyes watering a bit, and the drip internally stimulating the sneeze ?
