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

First, take a look at your seating. Then, look at how you sit. Do you sit straight up? Leaning? Head slightly tilted? Or, leaning forward?
You may need to rethink how you are sitting. I was getting headaches also, and then discovered that i was holding my head at a tilt, thus putting excess pressure on my neck. I thought it was simply headaches. When i fixed how i was sitting, and stopped doing my head the way that i was, then i stopped having the headaches.

I don't get headaches I have carpel tunnel so eventually my hands start falling asleep/pins & needles feeling.

i think i have no problem with headache even i staying for my computer for 3 or 4 hours..may be you have some problem with your eyes..

hi flagella08,

one more new friend to me, i also wearing glasses but they are for reading purpose only, i cannot read small letters, i am also spending before my PC daily 4 hrs,i do not face any headache, please visit an eye doctor it is better, best of luck

I haven't yet had that problem. I did have that problem with reading too much when I was about 13 years old. I had to wear reading glasses for awhile because I overworked the muscles that I used to focus on the words. But, I only wore glasses for 3 years and then I didn't need them anymore. It's not too much of an inconvenience really. Keep your glasses with you at all times if you need them. You would probably need a prescription.

I am really addicted to computer. Most often on weekends I am tied to my laptop reading articles on my digital library and watching movies that I have downloaded from the internet. The only thing that bothers me is backpain. Even visiting to a friend I always bring my laptop with me. I just can't imagine my life without it.

I spend very long hours on my laptop every day. I've had this machine for over a year now and it still works great since day one and I have to say I really butcher it for like 16 hours sometimes, and I don't get a headache.

Incredible isn't it? I'm on for so many hours at a time because that's how I make money.

I don't get headaches from it as a general rule and I spend about 16-18 hours a day behind the computer due to the work I do. But I know when I do get a headache once in a while it is due to eye strain and if I do find a headache coming on then I get up for a few minutes, walk away to do other things around the house etc. When I come back I usually notice that the beginning of the headache has passed and I am able to go back to doing whatever it was that I was doing on the computer when I walked away.

I never get headaches spending long hours on the computer.I get headaches only if i go out in the hot sun or if my body is not having enough water supply.The best way to not get a headache is to drink two glasses of water every hour.It will keep your body hydrated and you will not get headache.If it is a mild headache then go to sleep and later sit in front of the computer.
