How much time should i spend on the computer?

Question

I go on the computer alot but i dont actually know how much time on the computer is healthy.

Answer 1

i dont like sitting for more than an hour or two at a time .. at least walk away from it and stretch ... but 6 hours a day is normal for me :)

Answer 2

the amount of time spent on the computer isnt specific but rather it depends... im usually on for 3 hrs then i take a stretch and look out the window cuz u need to relax ur eyes. and make u ur sitting on a good chair that supports ur back cuz people who're own the computer alot then to complain of back pains or either have bad eyesight.

no i dont wear glasses. :D

Answer 3

We are supposed to refresh our eyes for 5 minutes every hour -- look out the window, close them, etc. My opthamologist told me that when we are on a computer, we tend to stare at the screen and not blink. This can contribute to dry eye and eye itch.

Stretch every hour or you will end up with a sore neck and back.

We are only overdoing it if we neglect our responsibilities, personal or otherwise, and use it as a substitute for social contact.
