I'm not sure how to deal with this. Even just 1 hour on the computer seem to drain all my energy out, I can't even wash the dishes afterwards.
Today a did a full day without and I felt alive after days... does someone else have the same problem? How do you deal with it, especially if you have to work with the computer?

@arteteco not me, but my career is a computer, i work with them differently than most, from the inside out... do you know where the cause of this is?
@freemo Not sure, I've always had this problem but it comes and goes... It helps if I use glasses and take frequent breaks, but still even when I take a break I feel like I only want to nap. It gets stronger when I multitask, but even with a single task, glasses and all I still feel so very weak
@arteteco @freemo Is it eye strain? A headache?
Depending on the task you might consider trying an e-ink display, although that comes with a lot of caveats.
I personally have a lot of light sensitivity, so I keep the brightness down on my monitors and devices and that tends to help me out. Also, there is a lot of variation in brightness ranges and screen image quality; maybe consider getting a higher-resolution monitor?
Other than that, periodic breaks are always a good idea.

thanks, yes I usually have headaches throughout the day, and if I use it in the evening I wake up the morning after with my eyes sore. I thought that it was normal until well, 10 minutes ago when I stopped to ask if maybe it is not. Now I'm fine as I got ibuprofen and pain is gone
I'd love to get myself an eink screen, for the kind of works I do is oftentimes a good idea, but it's still expensive for my pocket...
I'll consider an higher res monitor too, if this setup can have me working 4 hours without trashing my day is worth every penny
