Excessive screen time can cause eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and even sleep disturbances. Here are some tips to manage strain from excessive screen time
ake a break every 20-30 minutes and look away from the screen. This helps to reduce eye strain and relax your eye muscles.
Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Adjust the brightness and contrast of your screen to reduce eye strain. Also, make sure that the text size and font are comfortable to read.
Avoid working in dimly lit rooms or areas with bright overhead lights. Use task lighting to reduce glare and adjust the brightness of your screen to match the lighting in your workspace.
Blinking helps to lubricate your eyes and prevent dryness. Remind yourself to blink frequently when working on a screen.
Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and your arms at a comfortable angle. Adjust your screen to eye level to reduce strain on your neck and shoulders.
Take frequent breaks and reduce your overall screen time. Consider taking breaks to engage in physical activities or other non-screen-related activities.
