Yes, I spend a lot in the computer surfing the net. I also feel this uneasiness in my back and my hips maybe because of sitting for most part of the day, but I can't help it because I loved internet and do most of my research and online works there. I noticed also that my eyes became blurry because of too much time in the internet. But during night time, I have to rest my eyes and go to sleep early, I don't even watch TV to give my eyes a breath.

Hi there yanwei! Well, maybe you should take breaks every half an hour or every hour. I used to be really active in the internet sometimes even staying online for eight hours a day which just changed when I went back to school. Now the longest I stay online is three hours and that is on school days. Of course, it's back to eight hours during breaks like starting now, our Christmas break. Staying in front of the computer and also just sitting for a long time isn't good for anyone's health. As I've said before, stand up, walk, stretch once in a while if you are staying long hours in front of your pc.

I am in front of the computer the whole day-whether or not surfing the net.My job requires me to be hooked to the system 5 days a week for the whole day. in between work I keep surfing the net. Spending long hours in front of the computer is indeed bad for health. It can strain your eyes and back. I do feel back pain and get watery eyes at times.Now a days I keep taking frequent breaks, splash water on my eyes from time to time and walk around for a few minutes before going back to my chair again.
