Healthy Hints - Frequent Breaks |
|
It is widely accepted that people should avoid extended periods of computer use
without taking breaks. The actual recommended details do differ from country to country and
in some locations there are regulations that entitle you to breaks from your computer
screen. However, general guidance is to take a 5 to 10 minute break every hour.
By taking these frequent breaks you give your body time to recover from being in a static posture, this can minimize the risk of health
related problems such as Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), eyes and muscle strain.
