Health problems related to the geek lifestyle

[thewayne]

I find articles like this interesting because of the lack of problems that I have. I have wrist problems, but they are due to a birth defect, not carpal tunnel. I have good sleep hygiene, I don't have headaches, etc. But I do recognize these symptoms in others.

I like the quote that the bed should be used for two things: sex and sleep. If you're awake more than 10-15 minutes, you should get up and do something relaxing, and you should NEVER use your laptop in bed!

(now if only I could convince my wife of that) :-)

I've been sleeping on good waterbeds since I graduated from high school and I notice that compared to other people in my age group I have much fewer joint, back and spine problems. I think a good bed improves one's health in amazing ways. Doesn't even have to be water, though I love the warmth and adjustability of waterbeds.
