I suffer from chronic shoulder stiffness, neck pain and difficulty sleeping.
I've heard that sitting all day is bad for your health.
The standing desk work system that has been adopted by people at a certain top company,
(Since we are not a first-class company) we tried to keep costs as low as possible.
That is,
Now it's eight months later.
What was good about trying it.
●Feeling tired as if you had done light exercise, even though you're not moving.
→ My body gets tired so I can sleep
●I feel like it's a waste of time to watch videos of my hobbies, etc.
→ Do I really want to stand up and watch it? I wonder.
●It makes you feel motivated to do some flexibility exercises at any time.
→ Try to stretch yourself even while working
●Your shoulders won't hurt even if you concentrate for a long time.
→This is awesome!
in,
As for what's happening now,
yes.
I've returned to a sitting (balance ball) lifestyle.
Due to various circumstances, I had to clean up my entire room, so I can no longer maintain a standing desk work style.
That's a big reason,
Honesty,
I'm a little tired.
As I stood there, I felt the following:
●I sigh a lot.
→Why?
The break time is longer
→ Once you sit down and take a break, it takes time to stand up
My back hurts
→ It doesn't hurt now, but in the first week or so,
My back hurt so much that it was difficult for me to even walk. Looking back, I think I may have had a slipped disc.
●I end up watching videos about my hobbies
→ I want to see what I want to see
● It's a hassle when you want to handwrite a quick note
→Depends on the work environment
So,
Standing up while doing desk work every once in a while is refreshing and helps me concentrate better,
For long periods of time, especially for those who work with a mouse,
I felt it might be quite difficult.
However, thanks to this, my shoulders are less likely to hurt.
I feel like I was able to find my gaze and posture.
From now on,
Using a balance ball, you can maintain a good posture and focus.
I'm going to try to continue setting a timer and stretching every hour.
