Hey, fellow bed rotters!
I spend most of my time lying on my back, watching videos on my laptop which is about 30 cm above my belly. My head rests on a pillow which also supports my neck a bit. It is propped up so that I can watch the screen properly.
After a few months my eyes started to go bad. I have a hard time focusing on things. I chalked that up to staring at close screens all the time. But sometimes my vision would go back to normal.
It goes back to normal when I lie on my stomach for a while. I think it’s because I straighten my neck and maybe because I relief pressure on my skull. I was also able to achieve that when lying on my side and straightening my neck.
Unfortunately I can’t hold the “good” positions for too long.
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
Yes, I also have eye problems when I lie on my back watching my iPad (with stand).
Usually they pass after getting up, but Im pretty sure its gradually causing damage.
I already thought of trying to prop up a projector to shine on the ceiling. But that’s too much effort and would probably just annoy me because of the noise.
Maybe some special pillow could help.
Have you heard of prism glasses? I haven’t gotten a pair yet but they might enable you to change your posture.
My glasses just arrived. I’m currently testing them. Typing when your fingers aren’t where you see them is really weird. Everything feels weird. I’ll need a few days to adjust. But thanks for the suggestion!
I totally forgot those things exist. And they’re cheap enough to just try out.
There are plenty of smaller projectors now that don’t make heaps of noise. Something like a Philips PicoPix Micro would probably be really good!
