so tired because of the computer!!

I can relate to what you are saying and I honestly think that the Internet should be classified as an addictive substance. Sometimes I find myself up until the early hours of the morning just pottering around, reading an article here, talking to someone there, playing a quick game... It all adds up to a HUGE amount of time which could be spent more productively.

hi zz1111... first of all, i want to welcome you into this community... i will suggest that you take a break and give your eyes a rest... it is not worth it if you ruin your eyes just for the sake of mylotting... you will have to spend lots of money to repair the damage in the future... take care and have a nice day...

many people work with computer and it seems like that we can not live without computer. My eyes are so bad because of using the computer , but i have no means about it !

I have been on Mylot at all hours of the night just trying to catch up on all of the discussions.. I have been so tired that I couldn't type and when this happens, I usually just make myself quit and resume the typing another day..

Yes. You should try and get some more sleep. That is what I had to do this morning. I only spent 1 hour on myLot. I was so tired and I got off... I will stay on it for 2 to 3 hrs today.. Yes, please get some rest and take care of yourself..

Me too. I'm so addicted in this mylot. I post a lot and if ever i'm not posting. I'm updating my blog and go alot of blog hopping. I promise myself to keep posting for just 2 hours but I can't help it. Maybe tomorrow i'll stick to my promise.

I know exactly what you mean, I too get so wrapped up here that the time slips by and before I know it bedtime has come and gone and then I have trouble getting up the next morning. My eyes do get so sore somedays, and gritty I need to spend less hours concentrating so much on here but I just cannot seem to cut down my time.

i take care always myself but sometimes i can't refused myself to post many comments here specially if it catches my interest. so far within my 4 months period staying here posting my discussions and comments, i enjoyed the moment and my eyes so active although i felt tired if i sleep only 3 hours in a day that is why i try to find time to take a nap every afternoon.

Last night and into the wee morning hours it was for me the internet and also a late night radio program called Coast to Coast.. I am hoping that you got more sleep than I did as I did not go to bed until 4 a.m. as today is my day off. Now, I am on myLot most of the morning responding to friend's discussions as I have not done that for awhile as I have been busy responding to people in my own. I am glad to be here to visit yours. I am hoping you get some sleep today.

I too am online for ages. I easily clock up 6hours in a session each day. Not particularly good when i have lots of things i have to do but i always get carried away and before i know it theres a huge rush to get things done.

Internet is very addictive thing and I think we should be disciplaned while using the internet. I was having this problem a while ago, my schedle was all messed up and I didn't able to concntrate on other areas of my life. As of now still I m struggling but lot better. So zz1111 have a nice and sound sleep.

hi, zz1111, Thanks for your concern. I know it's hurtful when we stare at the monitor or LCD screen for long time. Besides, it's not good for our posture too as we tend to remain in a posture for too long will also hurt our body.

You are not blinking enough. Get in the habit of taking your eyes off the computer screen and learn to blink!!

i am sure that your life can return to normal very soon.we may come across many interesting things n our life,but finally we will find that normal life is the very thing which we take as the biggest treasure.

your still young i guess..and can stand the stress on the computer...well i cant...i log in here at least 2x a day at that is one to two hours minimumn..have to rest as well and do some chores..

Yeah I get sore eys and I feel tired if I spend too much time on the computer. My neck hurts too. It is really bad! Do you do exercises to relieve your body from the symptoms of staring at the computer screen for too long? it helps to look away and focus on something else in the room for a while. Also sitting with your back straight and turning your neck to each side every now and then. When we are at the computer our chins are pushed out. This causes neck pain. Try to remember to keep your chin in, sit up straight and most importantly take a break every half an hour!

Yeah i used to do the same thing too, i used to just sit online and keep on doing things of interest, until i had a really bad sleep problem, then on advice i just cut down on all of this, so you b careful ltoo, b4 it causes any risks...

there are really some sites that im addicted to like mylot! i never noticed time either. but unfortunately, i cant go that late coz my kids wake up too early and once they're up, you can never go back to sleep coz they're really noisy huhu. happy mylotting :-)

We all experience this at times being on here. I have been known to get up in the morning to check emails and still be in my dressing gown at lunchtime, ooops and yes my eyes then get sore. Take a break and come back refreshed is the advice I give myself and to you. Ellie :D

I have always been told that it is best to take a break at least every hour or so to give your eyes a break.
