So guys, how much time u spend in front of ur computer? If u are working, then add those hours as well..

Its just a survey as i need to know the average usage pattern...thing is, i have to spend close to 14 hours in front of a computer on a daily basis..(barring 3 hours of commute and around 6 hours of sleep and add 1 more hour for other routine things we all have to do..:p) rest of the time, i'm always in front of my computer..be at work or home..:no:

now how bad it is for the body? I'm specifically concerned about neck and spine..the last thing i wud like to have is spondylitis...:ashamed: and though i'm fairly thin at 58 kgs @ 5.11 ft...i'm worried what wud such a lifestyle have an impact in the long run..:(

I know many of u guys too have to face the same scenario...so what do u guys do to take care of ur health? Especially, are u guys not concerned about spondylitis? Is thr any thing u guys do to prevent it? :ashamed:
 
^:lol: alright, sued u..now i claim ur puter in damages..:bleh:

On a serious note, arent u worried about the consequences? You are only 17 rit now, but still, such things might have crossed ur mind sometimes, rite? :p Do u get enuf exercise to negate the ill effects of those long hours? :p
 
Urr, well, when I have absolutely nothing to do, I spend around 15 hrs infront of the puter, otherwise, when I have a busy day, then it's more like 3-4 ... Depends ... Actually, more like 10hrs on an average ...

As for the exercise bit, I play football every alternate day, weigh 50kilos, eat green vegetables, drink a fair bit of beer, watch a fairly decent amount of porn.

So yeah, I'm covered.

Nice workaround....:rofl: :rofl:
 
well if i take out the office time then it is 4-5 hours a day... otherwise you can make it 13 hours :p
i am (glad to say) neither overweight nor underweight :)
used to sit around 15 hours while i used to do nothing :eek:hyeah:
 
Guys, but u are not answering the bigger question...its not just to know the hours u spend in front of ur computer, but more about the steps u take to counter the ill effects of sitting for such long hours...

Arent u guys worried about ur neck and spine and the overall implication of such a stagnant lifestyle on ur health? :S
 
15hrs flat everyday without fail :p

i use my PC while lying down on a bed with a water mattress so no strains & i got a LCD so no eye strain either :D
 
been doing 15-18 hours for a long time now ..and had severe shoulder pains one time ..which took me to a physio....who treated me for a week....i still have recurrence of it but not that bad ...thing is to take breaks and exercise in any form is a must :)
 
9 hours sitting up, 3 hours lying down, 6 hours sleeping in front of the comp

never had any health probs as i am active with sports also

once my wrist started aching, so i had my mouse at office changed and worked onehanded for 2 weeks

good posture is important so i consciously try to maintain a comfy position
 
Today, i have an off, n it has gone over the top for me..:( Been sitting here since yesterday evening..:no: Dinner n all right on my puter table..:no: The guilt of not doing much to get my bum off the chair is there, but i dont know how to counter the situation..:no:

@kippu : What kind of exercise is advisable? N what do u do? :p Btw, will cycling help? Cos thts the only thing i can do..i cant imagine myself at the gym..:p
 
about 10-12 for me

out of a 9.5 hour work day i sit for about 7.5-8 in front of the PC at office, rest of the time for tea/lunch/frustation calming breaks :p

1.5-2 hours at home for TF2/other gaming

1 hour for Net @ home

so about 11 hours, but a few months ago i actually did 14 hrs per day at office with minimal (only 30 min max) of break time.... all in front of the PC... came very close to becoming a deranged serial killer...

I do manage to fit in an early morning/ night walk everyday tho...

My record in 18:45 hours in the office - 6am to 0:45 the next day with about 45min in breaks :p
