Sitting in the same position for long periods of time is unhealthy and may result in back, neck, or wrist problems. Now, sitting in front of a computer screen for long periods of time only compounds those problems.
To combat fatigue, eye problems, and various pains around your body, make sure to take a short break from your computer every hour. Get up, walk around, and stretch (away from the computer) for at least 5 minutes. Every few hours, be sure to take at least a half hour break.
Set yourself up on a schedule as though you were your own employee (because, face it, you are your own employee). In the United States, it’s required for employees to take regular 15 minute breaks and at least one hour long lunch/dinner break.
Taking these breaks may actually increase your productivity. During these brief respites, you allow your mind to refresh itself and when you sit back down at your computer, you may feel like a completely new person.
