What's the longest you have sat in front of a computer screen?

For me to actually sit consistently in front of my laptop or computer maybe an hour or 2 tops. I usually either get bored and do something else or I tend to my kid. I get fidgety if I sit too long. I know I'm weird.
My full time job requires me to be on my feet running around so when I actually get free time, I do sit and chat or write articles, but then I am up doing or getting something.

@Mavic123456 - Haven't you heard the saying - Excess of everything is bad? So you should try to curtail your hours in front of computer, if you could.

I try to get up and stretch every 30 minutes or so because if I don't I feel like crap. I work as much as I can online so I sit in my recliner with my chromebook quite a bit.

I would be interested in knowing where else you earn.

I may sit in front of my laptop all day, but I only do things on it at certain times. I do the sites I need to do, as well as here, check my email doing searches, and also surveys. Most of the time, I have my face in my ipad or iphone, or I will crochet or knit and just watch tv. I find that if i spend to many hours on the laptop, my eyes get weary, so I have to rest them.

@DanieGirl80587 B For me 4-5 at a stretch is pretty normal.

I sometimes sit for hours at a time. It is not good for my health. I sat less when I had less time.I would like to have a job again.

I'm at my laptop pretty much all day. That's because I don't have much of a life. I suppose I could kick myself in the butt and make it one. However, I don't usually get online until after noon, and then I'm on until I go to bed. Of course I have to walk away sometimes to do other things but basically I'm on the computer all afternoon and evening.

It is said that we should not sit for longer duration in front of our PC or laptop. We should take frequent breaks in between to avoid strain on our eyes and body. However, sometimes I sit for continously 2 hours in front of my PC to finish a task. Ideally I should take a break in between but sometimes I just don't feel like moving.

A few years ago, I could sit for hours doing this or that online. Not so much these days.
I get tired of sitting. I have to get up and move around, if only for 5 or 10 minutes.
If I ever had an office job, I'd go nuts.

I don't spend a lot of time at all. I simply haven't the patience. Maybe an hour and then I go and do something else. I wish I could sit still and just work and work and work! ;)
