RE: Technology and Eye Fatigue

Firstly, thanks for the mention of @liotes! That was a good mission and an "eye-opener" for many people, including myself... We spend way too much time in front of different screens... I wore glasses too, but I try to not do it while I'm out on a walk, or not reading, writing, etc... I can see "enough" without them, and I have a feeling that my eyes are resting without the glasses!
One of the most important ones that I don't do as often: take short breaks from time to time to rest your eyes and move your body.
I try to do the same, but I do forget about my eyes... stretching the body, but not the eyes... Will try to do what you said... maybe to go out on the terrace and look into the distance...
Thanks for the tips!
That's what I do... when I remember. It would be better to have a wider space to look toward from my terrace, but I find ways. Luckily the neighbor in front of us has a big green area up to the house. Do you see the sea from where you stay? That would be something great to focus on during breaks.
Unfortunately, I don't... From the terrace, I can see the pool and the other building, but also, I do see a hill that is near me...
On the other side (entrance of apartment), I have mountain views, which would be great to have on the other side... lol... But, you can't have it all... 😂
The newest effort would be to do 2 daily walks... As summer is coming, I will try to do early morning walks (while it's not that hot), and probably night walks... Today, I did my first early walk! :)
The hill could be a good spot to look toward. Although, sometimes, if you don't want to take a break, you could just take your eyes off the screen for a minute or two and point them in a different direction.
How hot are the summers where you live during the day?
It's not that crazy like in Andalucia (Sevilla, Cordoba, etc. where it goes often over 40), but it is more around 30... But, the problem is nights as the temperature doesn't go down as for example, where you (and I were) living...
So, the next day, it's around 30 almost in the morning... lol...
Thanks. I don't know if I could adapt to weather where nights don't get a little cooler than days. But you did, so it's possible, lol.
Oh, I will never change back to cold nights and days... It's a struggle sleeping on hot nights, but better than freezing your ass... 😂
I mean, you get used to both, but if I would have to choose, it's warm over cold... always... 😂
Since we haven't been having too much good weather this year, I tend to agree with you. :)
