I wonder if the majority of people on here spend more than 13 hours a day. It seems crazy to me spending that much time looking at screens but when I see how much time some programming projects take I think wow, they must be looking at screens 80 hours a week to pull this work off.

I sometimes want to watch tv or play video games after work but after already staring at a screen for 9 hours, I have to read a book or do some other activity. Im not sure its good for us.

Way more than what should be concidered healthy. Mostly due to necessity(hobby and work), but I am trying to cut down the amount of time that I'm on Lemmy or social media networks.

Even hobbies that I have go in front of the computer. Like D&D, I do via Roll20. Development, I do obviously on my system. The media that I consume is mostly YouTube or Twitch.

I would estimate that I'm probably on the computer roughly 13-15 hours a day between coding, gaming, social media and surfing the web.

edit: If I didn't even think about my phone, if I included the phone, I probably am on it. From the time I wake up to the time I sleep. (on and off with the phone though)
