I have observed that if I log in for more than an hour on the net, I get bored. I cannot stand to sit longer than an hour in front of the computer. This is happening to me now, I am supposed to be free today, no work, whatsoever and I am totally free to work online but I just can't bring myself to do it straight. I would stop and do other stuff like read a few pages of a book I'm reading, watch TV, then come back to the computer again, then back again to my other sources of entertainment. How about you? Can you sit in front of the computer for more than one hour? Don't your eyes get tired?

Hello there, I agree with you that too much can make you bored in the computer. but you can watch tv or play video games in your computer, besides, it's better to rest your eyes

It will be better if you will casually get off, maybe after being in front for 30 minutes, get off and have a snack, and then get back soon. That works for me on some instances, but if I got this job to finish in an hour then I have to stay on for the hour. Lower your monitors brightness so you're eyes will not be strained. It will be better to get an LCD monitor too, less strain on the eyes.

Yep, same for me.. too much makes me bored. I can only do a few minutes up to an hour each time, and then my eyes will be watery. In fact, whilst doing work, I need to skive to ward off the boredom.. but the skiving sometimes gets boring for me too. Maybe due to my tired eyes. But I'll miss it quickly too, LOL..

my hubby is the complete opposite, he can be on the computer for hours and hours and it doesn't bother him, but i am like you, i get tired...in fact, i usually play a game on the computer before i go to bed because it makes me tired. i work online and go to school online and so it gets a little boring after all that.

I can sit in front of the computer all day but after about 4 hours my eyes start getting tired. I tend to listen to songs and watch the videos of them on youtube and work on here. I don't ever do much other than exercise but when I am finished with that I turn to being on the computer. hope this helps.

I'm with you on that, I have a hard time being on the computer for awhile. There is something I do that makes it much more enjoyable, but I don't think it's appropriate to mention here..

Too much of anything will bore you of that, either it may be net or computer or tv, it tires your beady because of repetitive process followed hence you get bored of it

It actually helps that you take breaks once in a while, it is not really healthy to sit in front of the computer all day long. What exactly do you do online anyway? if you do not have a definite purpose why you go online then there is that tendency to get bored. I am online everyday because I need it for my work but then I do not surf the internet or watch youtube and stuffs like that. I do not see it as a productive way to spend my time. I would rather read a book

Hi Cutie18f, I used to sit in front of the computers for hours, but now I get bored soon. so I just go back to reading, or watchins some TV, or playing with my cat, or even knitting! And yes, of course, my eyes get tired too. but that usually happens at work, where I have to sit in front of the computers for more than one or two hours at a time.

Of course, I felt the same way too. You don't need to stay longer in the computer if you are not mentally ready because your body also will go what's on your mind. You need to do some break. If you don't really feel touching the computer find something else to do to fill your time. Sometimes my get tired If I feel sleepy or I lack sleep. It is just normal.

I have to sit in front of the computer for 8 hours every day just because i am a designer and do the whole work on it.My eyes get tired too,so I rarely use the computer when I am off the work.Who has invented the computer?It's a killer to my eyes!

I experience that too. Hahaha We don't have a good internet connection before so I just go to internet shops. Until my mom bought a DSL for me. I was so addicted to playing games etc before, but now I just got tired of it. 5 hours straight of surfing and playing makes my eyes sore so I sleep after then surf again. haha
