Another thing that you need to consider when working on a computer for long periods of time is eye strain.

Here are a few tips:

The monitor should be at a comfortable horizontal distance for viewing, which usually is around an arms length.

Screen Quality. A good quality monitor can go a long way to reduce eye strain, such as a monitor with high resolution. You should not be able to see flickering of the screen while you work. You should be able to see the screen without tilting your head back or streaching your neck.

Proper Lighting. Natural light is always better, but it may also cause glare on the screen if you have the monitor facing the window. When possible, the lighting should be above or behind you.

So just another tip on taking care of you.
