Bell Pepper plants

Can anyone tell me why the leaves on my bell pepper are flipping over, like a pancake? The front of the leaf is facing the ground and the underside facing upwards. It is only happening to one leaf on each plant. Thanks

I suspect it's environmental conditions that cause it but it doesn't seem to cause any harm.
PS - just had a Google and came up with this-
The most likely explanation is too much sun too quickly - the chlorophyll content in the leaves is greatest on the upper surface, and its the chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight. Your plant, being exposed to sun suddenly, flipped its leaves to absorb less of it - this is not an unusual event on pepper plants and it shouldn't affect its fruiting.
Which makes sense - so now we both know
