    Looking at light or sky when I need to sneeze helps me sneeze quicker.

    It’s apparently something to do with Photic sneeze reflex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex

      I pretty much always sneeze when first stepping into sunlight

      My wife doesn’t but I thought it was pretty funny when I realised my kid does too

      Who would ever want to sneeze faster? 😄

      My wife does this too, both of us have the reflex, I just happen to not enjoy sneezing?
