Yes, I believe that sitting long hours in front of the computer will result in some discomforts associated with incorrect positions while sitting, and the effect of radiation caused by the computer. Therefore, it would be a good habit to stand once in a while and do something for some few minutes before returning in front of the computer. Good day. [learn2earn]
yes,i agree with you,sitting all day really makes me bored and i get fat too.hehehe.moving around makes me energize again.thanks.happy [amyson]
Sitting long hours in front of a computer makes me weary and sort of dull.After long periods i find i don't function at my best as a sort of fatigue of the mind takes over.I generally lie down for about an hour after working long on the computers.This gets back my thinking capacity and calms my mind. [picjim]
that is right,it really gives me fatigue so i tend to sleep after typing in the computer.i just managed to be in the computer at least 3 hours exceeding hours more i just think and cannot function my brain.thankshappy [amyson]
My eyes is the one greatly affected after sitting long hours facing the screen. The next is my back. I find it difficult to stand up straight after sitting down for hours. Unless I'm terribly hooked on doing something, I find it necessary to stand and leave my laptop for a while. enjoy! [manong05]
yes,,standing and moving around is the best to alleviate fatigue and especially cramps.thankshappy [amyson]
long hours on the computer makes my eyes tired really fast. to avoid it, i make sure that i stand every hour or so. But sometimes when i'm playing games, it takes me 8 hours straight without standing. getting bored usually do not affect my moods as long as i'm in front of a computer. [Fulltank]
ows 8 hours?w00twow i cannot stay sitting for that long lol.my legs get cramps.thankshappy [amyson]
I have no other go other than sitting atleast 8 hours a day infront of the computer. I work with my computer and as a part of my job I have to sit infront of my computer for nine hours other most of the days other than half an hour break time for lunch. I got used to it and I don't feel bored or worried about that. I love my job and I am happy about doing it. [daliaj]
oh wow straight hours of sitting makes me tired and i cannot stand that long my eye get strain.thankshappy [amyson]
Yes, i feel bored & tired after sitting here for 2 hours...then i get up, walk around the house, do something or spend some time on bed reading a book, & come back refreshed....As i'm at home always, i can work as i like.... [tingtong]
I do not sit infront of the computer screen more than 4 hours and during this 4 hours I make it a point to look here and there quite often as a part of excercising my eyes. Staring at one point fo a prolonged time makes my eyes tired. Also I change my sitting posture now and then. [malpoa]
Hi Amyson, Long hours of sitting infront of the computer really makes my eyes tired, my neck shoulder and back so tensed but keeping my mind busy browsing, surfing and typing keeps me awake. no boring hour with computer...i used to do varied activities like report writing, listening to music, web research, responding to email messages, youtube and of course mylot. Stretching makes me feel good after a long hours of sitting infront of the computer. Tiring but fun! [msfrancisco9369]
In a years time i really gained weight and my doctor advised me to lose some. I need to regulate my BMI-body mass index. I need to exercise on a regular basis and watch my diet. It's hard but i need to do it! Although i am doing yoga exercise! [msfrancisco9369]
every day, I can spend time at the computer for 8 hours, indeed, my body feels sore shoulder from dibagian especially fingers but it did not make me bored to sitting at the computer ... as long as My computer is connected to the Internet and I can see the pictures of beautiful women who use a bikini whistle [advokatku]
hehehe that was very enjoying lol.w00tbut spend 8 hours straight is not healthy.happy [amyson]
Sitting Infront Of Computer For Long Hours Creates Many Problems In Our Body Like You Said We Get Leg Cramps & Even Hand Cramps and every half an hour you should take a 5 minutes break to give some rest to your eyes and every hour you should trying walking up/roaming your surrounding for some exercise and to continue the flow of blood... due to sitting infront of computer for long hours i have got a spec with high power... and now i regret ! [rahulrocks123]
right leg cramps and hand cramps really cant sit long infront of the computer.happy [amyson]
it is really tiring sitting in fronof the computer for long hours. i do feel it and due to this once i have also increased my power and hence frm then i have considerably reduced sitting long hours front of the computer. now also i feel very tiring and bored sitting sitting long hours front of the pc and i feel as though i need some fresh air to refresh myself and also my eyes need some rest, i am usually try to avoid sitting in front of the pc for long hours and strain myself. [icegermany]
Yes. I agree. My back and eyes will hurt if i look at the computer for long period of time. [tvb2009]
sometimes it makes me bored............ sometimes it is not......... happy mylotting........ keep lotting.......... keep earning.......... have a good day........... cheers............ [anonymousagent]
I'm a computer addict too and I sometimes feel the same discomfort. I guess you just need a regular exercise to prevent them. Eye strain probably would be hard because computer probably have radiation also so it's best to rest for a while. But i don't get bored especially if I'm on mylot..or doing my other moneymaking stuff. [lengzki]
right thank you for the great advice..more power to all mylotters. [amyson]
If you're truly interested in what you're doing that helps. Also I like to see my cents pile up and then, I take breaks. Just get up and do something else every so often and it will ease the pain of being stuck to the PC. If your leg gets cramps or anything like that keep changing its position. That will help too. [Bluepatch]
thanks you for the advice.. [amyson]
Yes, I really feel drained and tired if I sit in the computer for long hours. I also noticed that my eyes hurt if I keep on looking at the monitor for long hours. So often, I always take a break when I am using the computer. I am sure that there are other bad effects of using the computer for long hours. This may also include back problems as well as other physical problems. So perhaps some break and some stretching will be a good solution.happy [jpso138]
yes same here..thanks..happy [amyson]
I am a translator and have to sit before computer long hours. I feel bored and eyes will be tired. My feet gets swelling. Then I go out to the nearest shop or bakery and that exposure to fresh air will make me get some energy. Then I stretch my legs for some time and leg swelling will subside. [Buchi_bulla]
it cause by blood that dropping all down so blood should be circulate without difficulty.yes streching is the best way to do when it comes to cramps.i often massage my legs,knee and move my toes so that i relieve my cramps.happy [amyson]
It all depends on what you are doing online. Whilst I am logged into My Lot I never become bored as My Lot is a great place to hang out. However, I think that if you don't move away from your computer from time to time then you will definitely start to experience cramps and straining of the eyes. I think they say you should take a fifteen minute break out of every hour that you remain at your pc, this is good advice and I try to follow it myself. Andrew [AndrewFreyne]
well mylot is fine to work with.well that is very acceptable..thanks for the advice.happy [amyson]
Not as much anymore. I spend a lot less time at the computer now, and I make a point to get up and do something every once in awhile so that I don't get sore and tired. [cutepenguin]
that is good also,keeping self busy by doing other things not just sedentary sitting infront of the computer. [amyson]
I kind of feel that way too. I don't really have enough time to sit long hours in front of the computer during weekdays because of school and stuff, but I do take a long time surfing the internet during weekends, or when I have a free time. Sometimes I would think of spending enough time for participating here in myLot, but I don't do that at times because I tend to find other things to do than sitting and staring at the monitor of the computer. If I am really in the mood, I wouldn't even notice the time I spent in front of the computer, but just enjoy instead. Haha. Good day! :) [offlimits]
yes same here lol,pain is one of my problem and neck pain.happy [amyson]
To some extent I feel bored and I take some breaks to wash my eyes and do some stretch outs which is definitely a must.I make sure that the chair and my monitor is slightly more than my hand.When you just shift from LCD to CRT monitors we can really feel the difference.In my house when ever I use my system I used to switch on the tube lights which helps me to spend longer hours before the system.Dry eyes is another problem for people who works for long hours and they need to be careful. [ashbalab]
Hi Amyson, When I was younger I used to spend pretty much all day on the computer without having any adverse effects. I think I only managed that because what I was doing was pretty much writing a book with other people, so my brain was constantly engaged. I also listened to music a lot so though I would be sitting, typing and thinking, I would also be moving around dancing, so my body was stimulated as well. These days the way I use the computer has changed, and so my tolerance for being here has changed too. I find that if I am doing anything job related, or if I am filling in surveys on banking or other dull topics, I tend to end up really tired really quickly. But if I am playing Bejewelled on facebook, or maybe writing an e-mail to my best friend, then I can remain happy and stimulated for many hours again. At work though I find it boring at times. Once I got so tired and bored that I went and started pacing while listening to music until my mind has sufficiently recovered for me to resume my work, because otherwise I would just have fallen asleep! Luckily I have my own room so I didn't get any funny looks, but that is the worst I have ever had. Normally I am pretty happy in front of a computer for many hours a day, just as long as what I am doing is interesting lol All the best, Dranz [DCLehnsherr]
yes,i doagree with you,well sometimes we really exhausted ourselves some forgot to eat or late to eat.so that is the disadvantages of sitting longer period in the computer.our health get risk.doing things all over again is makes me bored lol definitely so i look for new stuff int the internet.thank you for sharing..happy [amyson]
I also doing the same thing.. I almost sit 8 hours a day in front of my laptop. I have thought of changing my attitudes towards this issue, but i couldn't get that right.. Anyway i am happy with my laptop... [ramo44]
yes i do agree it helps our body trim down..more power.live healthy. [amyson]
My arm would twitch like crazy. Or should I say feel so cramped up. My fingers would also feel a bit sore because all the navigating with the keyboard and typing stuff, surfing the net, doing work and that kind of thing. That's why I always turn to comfort drinks like coffee and tea, which I know is not good for health, most definitely. [zed_k4]
Thanks so2x much for the Br, I truly appreciate it.. [zed_k4]
yeah i feel it like when im using it for 14 hours straight.my back hurts and also my upper right shoulder. i usually stand and walk for a couple of minutes. i feel bored if im just reading something on the net. [rdsantos]
yes same here,i also put pain killer evrytime especially on my back and neck. [amyson]
hi amyson, no, never i didn't get bored by sitting infront of the computer, i love my job, so, i will enjoy to work. and i can learn many of the things through with the computer. actually i don't want to turnoff computer,but we have to do another work also na. thankyou for the topic, have a nice day. [neelimaravi]
Don't sit too close, that is a common mistake I make. I actually think that has been proven to cause headaches and make you quite dizzy and tired. [whitf0rd]
yes,sometimes i am too close on the screen because of difficulty of reading.i my eyes got strain i have now wearing spec.thanks [amyson]
well i do not like sitting in front of the computer, it really hurts my eyes and harmful to my body shape. but i have no choice, i have to sit in front of it 8 hours at least. so i do not tough my computer on weekends. i have worked for nearlly one year, and my eyesight declined a lot.:( [buping]
good thing you need to wear spec so that it will protect your eyes from computer.happy [amyson]
As long as I am doing something I am into then I wouldn't get bored or tired. I can stay on all night and stuff. I don't get tired easily unless I watch movies or listen to music while I am on it. I fell asleep once staying on the computer for hours though. It was funny. :) [Melbee11]
wow that so hard from you lol.havent your eye strain?anyway i enjoy watching music videos although i cannot stay long in just sitting infront of the computer without doing something. [amyson]
the fact is yes. but who feels tired and bored when in exchange you can find valuable information in the internet. i havent been online late since i was too busy catching up with so many activities in school and when i get to sit in front of the computer, i feel like i am a walking encyclopedia especially if i stay on for a long period of time.. [babyish13]
well yes but sitting very long makes our neck and back pain.i already feel that when i stay in computer 4 hours straight without break. [amyson]
Hi,amy,Getting bore while working continuously on computer is common that too for people those who work from home for earnings.In my case,i too get bore,but at that time i used to relax for a while with tea/coffee and some times i shifted to another site which is interested for me.Have a nice time and happy mylotting.yawnhappy [Baluyadav]
is i do agree so i shifted too just watching music videos or playing since doing all over the same things is boring i got easily tired and later i sleep. [amyson]
Tired and bored when there is nothing much to do or I am engaged in things that I am not interested on. Bored also when I am not in the mood and feel a little bit unproductive. Can you guess my disposition right now??? You are absolutely right if your guess is I am not in the mood. I am really not in the mood. I just had a petty fight with someone. I am on killing time right now. Still hope you have a nice day amyson! [lovelyn_medrano]
well,when someone getting you upset it really influences our mood and tha makes us bored lol.fight is one and tiredness from work dont feel good to work in my computer i just sleep if i am not in the mood and i just think of it when my head heat up lol.have a nice day too. [amyson]
I hate staying for long hours in the computer. I also feel pains. My eyes hurt and my foot experiences cramps. [radiance27]
i also experiences that too often times if i am sitting for 4 hours straight. [amyson]
Ya, some times i need to walk around a bit after using the pc for a few hours [animestan]
same here,lol i used to massage my neck and lie down for awhile to rest then il go back after napping. [amyson]
I sit in front of my laptop for more than 4 hours a day. But in between those times, I will take my eyes off of it and play with my girl or to do other stuffs around the house. I don't get too bored with it but tired, yes! Sometimes I feel intense pain at the back of my neck. And I am 23! Must be the wrong sitting position because I am lazy :D One tip that I read somewhere : Every 30 minutes of time spent in front of your PC, do some eye exercises. Focus on a particular item as far as possible outside the house for 5 minutes. [lilhyppo]
same here lol,my eyes get tired easily maybe because of the radiation of the screen on my laptop.i just walk from time to time.thanks for sharing [amyson]
hi amyson, I don't have any idle time sitting for many hours in front of the computer but yes, there are some physical discomforts such eye strain and backache at times. At work my main job is through the computer and my only break is during lunch time and when I go to the washroom. Nonetheless, I'm actually having great time with my computer activities. Good Day! [seanbryan]
yes,so that is why we encourage to move on from time to time.it can be bored when i have visited different sites that entertain me much. [amyson]
I think it does ware you out because tht is al my mom does her job mostly and she is so tired when she comes then when she sits down it doesn't do anything for her. She gets tired again by being on the computer when she comes home. i usually do a little bit then get back up and go at it again. Sitting too long makes me numb. [crysontherocks77]
yes,and it might increase your weight by just sitting all day long. [amyson]
hi It is but natural for a person to feel those things if she works on a computer sitting non-stop for long hours, It is important for us to atleast loose a little bit of ourselves, engaging in some other activities in between. [cliff_lim]
yes.encourage to move around,since sitting all they long makes a paerson get tired. [amyson]
Being a software engineer, I am doubtful if i am supposed to say anything that goes against the myth. I hate sitting infront of the computer for hours. Its just like watching the same boring move again and again. It starts creating headache for me if I stare at that monitor for hours. But however, i cannot help it. I got to look at it for hours and work on it and also earn from it. I do take breaks in the middle every one hour or so, just go for coffee or tea and come back and start working again. In the evenign i would go for some games and then after returning home, I would often work online for an hour or so, talk to my firends online, tkae a break, have my dinner and then do some work again and then go to sleep. [vipulchawla]
yes it needs to have break time each time since facing long hours in the computer is not advisable.3 hours is the maximum then have break off to rest our eyes and of course sitting for long adds to backache thus it is advisable to stand from time to time. [amyson]
