Well, I love browsing internet and there are many reasons and many interests attached to it. I love making friends, browse to through beautiful pictures, download PDF files of informative articles, watch videos and so many other things. But sometime you feel like addicted to internet-browsing. The longest time I have spent on internet is 4 hours approximately, which I think is not really amazing. So, guys I want to know what time you spent on internet can beat this? I know after becoming member of mylot 4 hours will be very less. So, guys let me know, fast....!

Hi To be frank , I am quite addicted to internet when I am home for vacation after sailing for quite some time in deep seas. Surfing on the net is an activity to unwind myself and relax. Mylotting is also another thing that I enjoy. I think the longest time that I have spent on internet is about 10 hours. I slept at 2'o Clock in the night on that day.

Hello Amirev777, That's good that you admit that you are addicted to the internet some people dont admit it at all Haha.. it took me awhile to admit it one time. I kept telling my family when I was like 15 that I am making some extra money online and they just laugh but I really do haha it works haha. they just still laugh think that $10 here and there isnt nothing yeah but its something haha. The internet is addicting because there is so much stuff on here and you can do so much and when you look at the clock time flys FAST. haha

Hi Yes there is nothing wrong in admitting something, when you know that you are not causing any harm to others. Your addiction should not be offensive to others, so long as you are into yourself and enjoying what you are doing, it is fine.

Hello Sunehant! First of all, welcome on mylot. I just got here too :P I usually can't stay too much on the internet, but 4-5 hours in a row, i can make it. I used to play most of this time, but from yesterday I almost couldn't leave this site, i was so caught up with it. So, it seems that with the right interest, i can spend much more. You are right about the health though, even with a job requiring long hours before the computer, a nice walk in fresh air on every 2 or 3 hours, eating in due hours and taking the night hours sleep, that's a must if you want to be at your peak all the time.

Hey Alisea, Thanks for a warm welcome. Even I was not able to stay on internet for long hours before knowing about this website. I have become so comfortable with it that I am spending most of my time with it. But sometimes my eyes needs rest so I go for a long walk in between to refresh myself

I spend most of my day on the internet; if I'm not working, I'm watching movies, or surfing the net. I'm not sure what the maximum amount of time I've ever spent is, so it will be a guess. But some years ago, I went through a phase of being absolutely drained of energy; which i meant I was virtually incapable of any kind of physical exertion. Also, I didn't want to sleep. So I'd spend much of the night on the net, after having spent a good part of the day online too. We are talking many many hours, although I can't remember just how many.

Yes, I love the internet, I can't wait to get on in the morning; pretty well the first thing I do when I get out of bed in the morning is switch my computer on!

Hey Carlhalling, I think the internet makes us that way I had a sleeping problem because of the internet it just I kept thinking about what to do next how am I going to do when am I going to do. Also that it would be best if I do it now. There was a time I stood up for almost 3 days without sleep and when I did sleep I slept for a whole day which I thought was crazy. The internet sometimes comsumes our time but it also does that with our brains our minds it just takes over and that seems to pleasure our mind. Neflix does it as well haha.

Haha, Im the same way sometimes I try not to I usually check my phone first for Email and Text and miss calls see if I miss anything then brush my teeth and get some coffee and eat something and then get on the computer. Then if I have other things to do like Family members house I will go there and spend time with them. Or work I have to go to work. I try my best to try not to take most of time on the computer but Hey I can help it sometimes. haha. Especially when you have a iPad. It increase it by 5x more haha

Hey dfollin , you sound like me I guess when our minds not rest our body isn't going to be either our mind is what keeps us up and because our minds aren't at rest then we won't ever get rest until out body and our mind just can't take it anymore and that's what you call a knock out KO lol. I have to take medicine sometimes because how bad it cab be. I don't think it's the internet i think it's just my mind is always thinking about something. I think sometimes i think way to complex and just think too deep about everything maybe you should go to see a doctor and they can help you :) try praying to God and ask for help first :) lol just some suggestions

Hey dfollin and payout, It is always better to engage our minds rather than having trouble sleeping. Let me reveal a truth about our thoughts. Thoughts are inevitable. Mind constantly grabs thoughts from surroundings and keeps itself busy and this is the survival technique it uses otherwise it will die. So running away from our thoughts will trouble you all the more. try accepting all your thoughts and you will feel that your mind is more relaxed.

My answer is quite horrible. I would say it is 9 or 10 hours straight, with only short breaks. For work though, but still. It is way too much!

When I Was single with no kids I think the longest I stayed on the internet was 7 hours. I was new to it so I kept finding new things to look at and explore and by the time I looked up I found out that I was on almost all day. Now that I am married with kids I find myself on the internet a whole lot less. There are so many other things I have to do with my time then to be on the computer. I do still find time every day to get on but I dont spend that much time on it like I used to.

Yes thats true because when you are married, priority should be given to family. But you should not ignore your interests.

Hey sunehant, when I was younger and probably even now I send time on the Internet a lot so much I think I send most of my life on the Internet if I keep this up haha. Sounds bad right i think I spend the most maybe a day or two straight on the Internet. I have a sleeping problem and so that didn't help and i was addicted to MYLOT at the time And just kept my eyes on the site with my fingers to a nonstop haha. sad to say but right now on a normal bases i will say I spend about 2-8 hours on the Internet and I'm sure most people are in that range and I'm putting that in the normal range too haha maybe even 3or4-8 We as people use the internet for a lot of purposes and because of that we just are addicted to it haha

Hey Stanley I dont think 5 hours is that bad to me. I think most of us so far as what I read on everyone elses is 6-8 hours 10 + is a little above and 15+ is a lot and maybe 5 below is some what normal anything lower then 3 is below haha. Doesnt mean a bad thing haha. The internet kills time and time will fly I can be on the internet for hours and never get tired. Untill I shut the computer off haha

I had one surfed the net for 8 hours straight. And I kind of regret it, since i didn't do anything productive during that whole time. I just watched this drama I really liked- and I had really fun. Now I manage my time a bit so I won't overuse my computer.

Hey Lady1993, I get the same way too when Im on the computer too long I feel like everyone is saying wow when is he going to give it a break. So I try to go on the computer and when I get up I try to do something productive and get something done that I feel is important so I wont feel like slush later on.

IM sure everyone of us has free time and we and most of us surf the interent and doesnt seem to me age matters because the internet is simple to me . and I know some older people that surf on the internet for hours and wow they are old enough to be my grandparents haha The internet is for everyone haha WE LOVE IT!!! wooo

Hey aw, yeah gaming is what kills time too haha I use to play some war craft and wow i was addicted to that haha right nos I don't get on it anymore probably because my net book can't handle all that it has. Been ears now and I'm about to get a MacBook pro when the new one comes out and when it does I'm afraid im going to be hooked haha. But my job is what makes it sad I'm tough to be workinng two jobs and so a lot of money means less time or no time and.. Yea sad but it's worth it in the end haha

That a really good one to start with. you are very new and you have just started few topics already. And the most important thing is that you are getting good number of responses from everybody. I can see that you have very less number of friends, but the number of responses are good. Good quality discussions, dear. Well, you won't believe, I have spent almost 20 hours on internet. At work, working on my computer at office for some emergency. It was the toughest job and I was the part of team of two people. But I really enjoy that time with my team and got appreciation in form two Air tickets.
