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?

        Meaning I thought about the abstract concept but have naturally dismissed them as ridiculous notions.

        Or if you want to read it differently, if I take away the only form of entertainment left to me I might as well kill myself.

          I meant stop laying in that position while watching the screen. Why the melodrama

              It was not. Usually the best solutions are simple. How are other positions not viable?
