Serious question: do you have separate beds for sleeping/working? I've worked in bed during long periods of recovering from injury but I found it was very difficult to fall asleep at the end of the day because my body thought it was still 'in the office'. Now I work at a regular desk, and fall asleep within a couple of minutes of lying down at the end of the day.
- grondilu 9y agoNope, I use the same bed. I do have difficulty to fall asleep though.
- papa_bear 9y agoI spend most of my workday in a zero-gravity chair - I got a leather one off craigslist, but the cheap patio versions are just as comfortable (you can find a bunch on amazon). I have a monitor mounted above me and a keyboard in my lap, and it's never uncomfortable. I think for programming, being uncomfortable can definitely kill some productivity - at a normal desk, I'm intermittently thinking about and correcting my posture, or trying to shift myself to find a new comfortable position, and it interrupts my train of thought. And to feel like I'm not relaxing my ass into an early death, I'll get up and do a quick workout once every hour or two.
- grondilu 9y agoWhat do you use to mount the monitor?
- papa_bear 9y agoA basic monitor arm attached to the front of the desk, and a 40" monitor mounted to it. (this one: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Single-Monitor-Display-Mounting/dp/B00MIBN16O/ https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Single-Monitor-Display-M...) The downside is you can't really use the desk as a normal desk anymore, but if I need to write stuff or do non-computer work, I just do it elsewhere.
