Screens are wrecking your body
The neck and shoulders that ache by afternoon, the eyes that burn, the headaches, the wrists, the posture folding forward, the sleep the late scrolling steals. Your body spends most of its waking hours bent toward a screen, and it's started sending complaints you can't quite ignore anymore.
Our bodies were not built for this — hours held still, bent toward a glowing rectangle, close focus, late light — and yours is telling you so through the neck, the eyes, the headaches, the wrecked sleep. The good news is that most of it is fixable with setup and habits, not heroics: how you sit, how you break, how you protect your eyes and your nights. Some of it is also the pull of the devices themselves, which we can gently loosen. This isn't about swearing off screens — that's not your life — it's about giving your body a fair chance inside a screen-heavy world, so it stops paying the daily bill.
