The secret to anything in life is simple: Balance. Spend too much time at the extremes and negative results will follow. This is no different. Sit too long; stand too long; lay down too long. All bad for you in the long term. I switched from a sitting to a standing desk with a high chair. This allows me to switch between sitting and standing multiple times per day without having to fiddle with the motorized desk too much. I make it a point to go for a short walk a few times a day when I transition from sitting to standing. And exercise is key. I've seen lots of these desks that allow you to lie down. From my perspective, this is a horrible idea unless there's a solid medical reason for it. In other words, someone with a condition that almost requires it. People in bed at extended care facilities develop all kinds of problems. This is no different. Almost every muscle in your body weakens. Not a good thing. I hate to think what happens to gamers who buy these desks and sit there for ten hours at a time playing. Horrible stuff. Avoid the extremes at all costs.
