are you having headaches when spending long hours in your computer?

Sometimes i suffer from a head ache when sat at the computer,but i find this happens now at night more than in the day.I think the reason for the head aches at night on the computer is that it is not natural day light,there for it puts a strain on your eyes more.

Hi Flagella,

Generally NOT, But at the same time you have to follow some tips

Make sure that the distance between your eyes and computer will be normal

Make sure that when you are surfing the nest dont be concentrate all the
time on the monitor, just move your sight from the monitor to other places too

Make sure that your B.P will be normal

Make sure that you are relaxing before sitting in front of the computer

Still you are not feel comfortable, visit to nearest EYE SPECIALIST, may

I sometimes can get headaches but not from computer I tend to get headaches when playing games because all i do for like 7 hours is look at a TV which isn't a very good idea haha. other than that i don't really get headaches on the computer while surfing the net

yes i do, if it takes about 3-4 hours straight facing the computer and doing something which is engage in thinking, well it's a lot of headache, but if it's just for fun, surfing the net, chatting and doing everything without analyzing and thinking, well it's just okay.

I usually spent 6 to 8 hours everyday in front of the computer.
I do suffer headaches from time to time but not always. You must
rest your eyes every 30 minutes by closing your eyes for few seconds
or look in other areas other than the computer.

i do have this problem when i am working too long before my computer,but its kind of rare to me.but i really feel bad in my body compared with my health before i bought my laptop PC.

In the starting i had headaches. But after i didn't have any problems. I am comfort. You better use computer continuously not more than a half an hour. Give lapse in between. This would help you. Otherwise get your eyes checked thouroughly.

Yeah I get really tired eyes and they burna nd sting and I do get a horrible headache.
At the moment I am addicted to Farm Town on Facebook so my eyes are a bit sore now actually!

It really can't be good for us but I make sure I don't get on the computer too often. Although at the moment because I'm unemployed I am spending a lot of my time on the net.

I rememebr once I had an assignment to do and it involved finding information in online journals. It was really really hard and I didn't understand it so I spend literally the whole day on the computer and my eyes were stinging really bad. I eventually had to wear sunglasses to try to dull the brightness reflecting off the screen! It was ridiculous.

Yes and I believe this is because of radiation contain of computer. Our eyes are stress by too much light on the computer screen, I also use my eyeglasses when I am using computer. It is advice that we have to rest our eyes every 20 minutes and it is advisable to look farther so that our eyes can rest.

When I was still working I had to spend 8 hours a day infront of the computer and now that I am retired I spend at least 5 or 6 hours a day at the computer and it never gives me a headache. Perhaps you should get your eyes tested.
