How To Sit At a Computer
Sitting at a computer for long periods of time can take a toll on your body. By not sitting with the correct posture, it is easy to end up with back pain, neck pain, knee pains, and a tingling of the hands and fingers. Here are some tips on maintaining good ergonomics and staying comfortable at your desk during the day.
-
Sit up tall. Push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair. Adjust the seat height so that your Feet are flat on the floor and your knees equal to, or slightly lower than, your hips. Adjust the back of the chair to a 100?-110? reclined angle. Make sure that your upper and lower back are supported. If necessary, use inflatable cushions or small pillows. When your chair has an active back mechanism use it to make frequent position changes. Adjust the armrests so that your shoulders are relaxed, and remove them completely if you find that they are in your way.

- Sit at least an arm's length away from the screen and adjust the distance for your vision. Reduce any glare by carefully positioning the screen, which you should be looking almost straight at, but partially looking down. Adjust any curtains or Blinds as needed. Adjust the vertical screen angle and screen controls to minimize glare from overhead lights.

- Take short 1-2 minute strech breaks every 20-30 minutes. After each hour of work, take a break or change tasks for at least 5-10 minutes. Always try to get away from your computer during lunch breaks.
- Avoid eye fatigue by resting and refocusing your eyes periodically. Look away from the monitor and focus on something in the distance. Rest your eyes by covering them with your palms for 10-15 seconds. Use correct posture when working. Keep moving as much as possible.

- Avoid using excessively wide wrist rests, or wrist rests that are higher than the space bar of your keyboard.
- Other techniques to reduce glare include use of optical glass glare filters, light filters, or secondary task lights
- Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water to keep yourself hydrated and thus reducing the risk of headaches.
- Get a timer application to remind you when to take a break. Take the break when the timer goes off or immediately after the current task. If the task takes long than 10 mins to finish, take the 1-2 minute break.
- It's very important to stand and walk around while sitting for 30 minutes, because prolonged sitting can cause pelvic nerve pain. Also, years of prolonged sitting can lead to other health problems. That 1-2 minute break after 30 minutes isn't that bad when it helps to prevent other pain and possible serious issues.
- If your wrist hurts frequently while typing try the Dvorak keyboard setup.
- Make sure that your chair is at the right position to help prevent back problems in the future.
