"101
Ways to Attack Your Headache
BEFORE the Pain Starts!" Tip 17 : Do not work continuously on your computer.
Do not work continuously on your computer for more than half
an hour. This in fact is a very relative concept because some
people tire faster than other when working on the computer. Computer
screens emit radiation, so the less time in front of the computer,
the better.
If your eyes give you signs that it has had enough take the cue.
But often, after you get used to working on the computer, you
start ignoring these signs. The best thing you can do is make
it a point to give your eyes a break at least every half hour
of working on the computer.
The best rest that you can give your eyes is staring at a distant
object. Or you can try massaging your eyes gently. Please remember
that your eyes are unlike any other part of your body so you have
to take very good care of them. The same holds true when it comes
to massaging your eyes as well.
- When you massage your eyes take care to use only the soft
balls of your fingers.
- Do not use your finger tips because your nails could give
you scratches.
- The best fingers to massage your eyes with are the three
middle fingers, which are the fingers between your thumb and
the little finger.
- Place the balls of your fingers on you’re your eye
brows and gently press down.
- Please remember to be gentle; we are not talking about a
major massage therapy here.
- Now let your fingers roll down around your eyes making gentle
circling movements.
- The motion should start from the eye brows and end at the
corners of the eyes near the nose bridge.
- Repeat this two or three times and you can feel your eye
muscles relax.
- It is a good idea to this at least five or six times a day
if you are working at something that gives a lot of strain to
your eyes.
