| Had similar problem, now I can sustain 10 hours with no headaches. Here is what works for me. - get your eyes tested. I have small astigmatism, not enough for glasses, but it was causing headaches. I got glasses anyway. - Recheck your eyes every year. Eyes lens will flex once you wear glasses - Buy large sound isolating headphones, not in-year. - Play single song in loop - Get a bigger screen, even cheap 20" will do. Laptop has horrible ernomomy - Investigate ergonomic keyboards. Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 or Microsoft Sculpt are good starting choice. - Try inverted colors. Most editors have colors schemes, try Solarized, Dark Vim etc.. - For browser most sites (github) can be styled black using Stylish browser plugin - All operating systems (even Android) supports inverted color accessibility settings. Control-Option-Command-8 key combination on Mac. - Reduce time spend in front of computer by improving your productivity. It is much less draining if you actually enjoy your work and see results fast. |
