Tired sore eyes and anxiety Posted: 02-16-08 01:25am
Lately i've been really really just tired
at night, Which is not normal for me.
There's a tingling sensation usually on
the top of my head and my eyes are usually
sore, Could this be anxiety related?
Yes, I sit at the computer for long
periods of time, Could this also cause
this problem. Usually when i have long
sits using the computer muscles in random
places twitch in my body. I'm really
worried and need ideas.
What could this be?

Sitting at a computer can put a lot of
strain on your body without your realizing
it. The average person only blinks about
15 times a minute when looking at a
computer screen, and that is less than
half of what they should. The less we
blink, the less moisture is delivered to
our eyes which will make them strained and
sore.
Make sure you are working in a well
lighted area and aren't just using your
monitor as your only source of light.
Take a break from your computer every so
often to allow your eyes to relax with
some more natural light.
Since you are sitting for long periods and
not moving, I'm sure your muscles are a
little lacking on oxygen. The muscles
rely on movement for circulation and
oxygen and are also a main part of the
reason why blood can make it back up your
legs back to your heart.
So again, while you are taking a break
from your eyes, take a gander about the
room or step out for some fresh clean air
and walk around.
I think the tingling sensation in your
head will go away if you do this. The
reason why you are tired at night is
because you are sitting all day. Not
doing enough can make us feel tired too.
Get outside a little more, take a walk,
and get some air.
