Question of the Day, January 14, 2011

I don't spend that much time gaming; I do everything on my iPod except downloading music. Then I sleep 12+ hrs a day. Or read into the wee hours of the morning. Lol. But I keep my TV on for quite sometime & I spend hours on my DS & iPod at a time. Yep- 5-6 hours fer sureee!
Let's see...
An hour on the computer before leaving for work in the morning.
Eight hours at work.
Between three and five hours on the computer/360 depending on how late I stay up.
That's anywhere between twelve and fourteen hours on weekdays.
I get maybe six hours of sleep on weekends, and I'm either on the computer or 360 for all of my time awake (except for the obvious; getting food, toilet breaks, etc.).
So what exactly did the study conclude about those that spend over twelve hours sitting? Or is it a case of once you pass four hours, you may as well go all out and shoot for the 24 without any further effects?

I'm a writer, but due to my utter inability to sit still for more than 30 minutes, I hand write my drafts then type them.
I try and keep my screen time down. When I play computer games, I'm forever pausing, putting on a movie then when the first scene ends, I move to the dining room and start reading a book, then I'm in the back yard and about four hours later I remember I paused my game.

What? Oh shit! Spell check fail, that was supposed to read "definitely."Jaranja said:
I'd better fix that.
Well, including school work it's well over 6 hours a day, but I likely spend even more then that a day sitting in lectures.
The only job that doesn't force you to spend 2+ hours in front of a screen is Nordic Lumberjack at this point, and that's only in the areas where there isn't any electricity.The Escapist Staff said:
Seriously, where did they find people who *didn't* fall into the "unhealthy" category?
