After yoga yesterday morning, I spent most of the day and much of the evening at the computer, working on writing I had to get done. I was in a great place mentally, feeling creatively juicy and productive.
As the day wore on, a dull, congested feeling began to edge out the elation of accomplishment. By 10 pm I was depleted and went to bed.
But a good night's sleep? Not to be had. I tossed and turned most of the night, dozing lightly and then just waking up.
At some point it occurred to me that I had OD'd on the computer. That staring at a monitor for so many hours did something hideous to my brain, even as I was getting so much done.
This morning I was able to sleep in a bit, but the computer hangover lingers. Anyone else out there experience this sort of thing?
I definitely need to get better at taking some real breaks when I spend a lot of time with keyboard and monitor. The kind of suggestion I often make to stressed-out clients, of course!
