Comfortable viewing angle is actual about 15 degrees downward, where the eye muscles can rest. You can achieve this by tilting your laptop screen farther back. There is no inherent reason for your neck and back to be anything but straight up. People just have weak necks from insufficient exposure to neck exercises, which are fairly difficult to perform without some specialized equipment. Doing face pulls will help maintain more upright posture. I recommend starting your day off with 5 sets of 12 each morning to get you primed for the day.
Anecdotally, I have found a correlation between hackathon winners and proper posture. Also some of the best developers I’ve seen work with proper posture.
- bandyaboot 3y agoIf you have your neck and back straight and your eyes angled 15 degrees down, wouldn’t the screen have to be like 3-4 feet away to point directly at your eyes?
- swores 3y agoWhy? Do you mean assuming using a laptop screen and not raising it higher than the desk?
- bandyaboot 3y agoYeah, that’s what I was envisioning. There hadn’t been any mention of raising the laptop, just tilting the screen back, but maybe that part should have been obvious. I very rarely work from the laptop screen, so I wouldn’t think to bother with that.
