Do you worry when your body does weird things like sweat when you're nervous, you forget an awesome dream, or get carsick on a long ride. It' puzzling, eh? Let's dive deep into why these strange tricks of our bodies happen.
1.
Why Do We Bite Our Lips ?
How often do you find yourself biting your lips ? One reason you do is psychological. This habit appears with stress and anxiety. Our brain gives our body an ''order'' to bite our lips so that we think less about problems and calm down. There's also a less psychological reason. It could be that your lips are chapped because of the cold! Your brain tells you to bite your lips to ''refresh'' them.

Why Do We Forget Dreams ?
It happens that you have such a cool dream that you could immediately write a Hollywood script from it! But as soon as you wake up , you forget 90% of it. The brain prevents you from remembering your dreams for your own good. We remember the past structurally, logically and in a certain order. Dreams are chaotic, full of symbolism and strange images, so the brain thinks: (Brain:''This guy already has enough on his plate in real life - he doesn't need that dream consuming his thoughts.'') We often wake up with thoughts about the coming day, so the dream immediately gets kicked out of your memory bank.

Why Do We Wake Up Before The Alarm Clock
Yeah, brain, why do you cut my sleep short!?! Waking up to an alarm clock is a big shock for the body. To avoid this unnecessary stress , the brain releases a protein that's responsible for wakefulness. It'd be pretty handy if you could fine-tune this superpower - then you can forget about ever oversleeping!

We Can't Stand Being Tickled Yet We React To It With Laughter
Well, it's because the most ticklish areas (the armpits and stomach) happen to cover vital organs and arteries, so nature has made them very sensitive. Response to that sensation can border on pleasure (since all those nerves are being stimulated) and fear (for your important innards). So, you immediately try to guard these areas, laugh until you cry, and beg the tickler to please stop. But get this: when we tickle ourselves, the body immediately sends a signal to the brain. To this day, tickling is still a bit of a mystery to scientists!

Why Do We Sweat When We Get Nervous ?
We get visible armpit stains at the most inopportune moments: during a speech, on a date, at a job interview. I know it's embarrassing, but your body is trying to protect you! It releases sweat in response to any danger or stress.
