Tired eyes?
Too Much Screen Time Can Make Computer Users Sick
According to the article, "Mental symptoms such as lethargy, anxiety and "reluctance to go to work," as well as sleep-related problems including insomnia and fatigue, were most common among workers who spent more than 5 hours a day glued to their computer screen."
I spend way more than 5 hours a day in front of a monitor. But I have for many years. I think my sleeping issues are from not being good at letting stressors go.
Warning: Yahoo is known for having pop-up ads.
So, how do you sleep at night?

i spend way more than 5 hours a day online...and i have no problem sleeping. the biggest problem, is going TO BED.
heh
I guess I should turn off the computer a little more. I took Sonata go to bed at 9:30, and didn't fall asleep until one!
i had the "don't wanna go to work" ailment wayyyy before the advent of computers...
well, all i can say is they better come up with a cure that doesn't involve getting away from the computer. surely there must be a pill or something.
hehe... a pill. Excellent idea.
I sleep like a rock usually, but I'm typically up at 4 a.m. I spend way more than 5 hours at the computer too.
All in favor of a pill to stop these symptoms, say Aye...
Aye!!
GeekGrrl: Did you change time zones with your move?
Uh huh. I went from MST with no DST to EST. It changed by 2 hours. Luckily it had just switched off DST or it would've been 3.
Now I have to get used to this whole change-your-clocks thing next year. I've never done it before. hehe.
The time change thing is weird but you get used to it. I had a tough time adjusting when I moved west 2 time zones. Everything was on tv at the wrong times.
