EPTAs for F-Lux, in the health and fitness thread on TL little after new years was my first encounter with this gem. I've been using it on every computer since. I don't really notice it anymore, it feels normal but most of all for anyone having sleeping problems or feeling like they stay up until they get so tired they could pass out before going to bed. Install this! After a couple days it will make you mad sleepy at a more appropriate time and if you actually allow yourself to be tired and go to bed your sleepschedule will shift a couple hours to more normal times.

Thanks for making this is great! Also in the last picture/exercise, the hand is extremely red... I'm hoping it was just the picture being tinted or such, it looks like it's about to die o.o | ||

Do you guys hover your hand over the keyboard or do you use a wrist rest? While using the mouse do you rest your wrist or forearm on the table/mouse pad? Use a negative tilt for the keyboard? Use a keyboard tray? Rest your forearms on a chair arms, or the table for better mouse control? Do wrist, or finger stretches? I only have mild discomfort, but I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I use my palm in both hands as a pivot point for my mouse, keyboard hand. It gets quite sore, and I've always been told to hover over the keyboard and mouse, but I find that uncomfortable. I've always rested my wrist, not my forearm on the edge of the keyboard tray on a mouse pad. Maybe it's my desk/chair height(I'm 6'4), or something else I'm doing wrong. I'm not totally sure. | ||

My chair has arm rests that are higher than my keyboard. This causes blood flow to be limitted in my hands, and often causes huge stress. My solution: just put a pillow on the chair to raise yourself above the arm rests. Also, stretching before, not after, every session is very important. | ||

Whenever you're not doing anything take your hands of the mouse/keyboard to give em some rest. Take a small break every hour / 2 hours These 2 will help prevent! the pain, but not really cure it. Dacendoran that's very hard to say over the internet tbh but if you can't even type with it now it's probably going to take several weeks to fully recover. | ||

What I do is I sleep with my head on both my arms, my hands in the position commonly used for prayer. The next day after trying this, I immediately felt I could play for longer periods of time, and that my RSI was gone. One can also sleep with both their hands underneath their pillow, palms against the head and flat against the bed. Note: only works for sound sleepers. | ||

Enlighten me :O If it only takes 1cm to move your mouse across the screen, you may not be flicking your wrist as much (your fingers do all the movement) - but when you do this, you tighten all the fragile muscles and tendons inside your wrist. The little muscles in your wrist are only designed for short bursts of pressure. I'm no doctor, but I think it's a lot healthier to spread the pressure across a combination of fingers, hand, wrist, forearm and shoulder, just like you would playing piano. | ||
