Is it normal for anxiety symptoms to develop after using a laptop for a long amount of time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I have even heard that using the internet shortly before retiring can be associated with insomnia. Often it seems, being on the computer can get a person kind of charged up. I suggest taking a break from the computer after about an hour of use, getting up and walking around, trying to not use the computer late at night and trying and perhaps to decrease your total daily time on the computer.
