Yech. That often happens to me when I stand up too quickly. Quite annoying.

And I can get small headaches by sitting in front of the computer too much. Other than that, I don´t have much problems with it.

Remember the movie Polterigeist?

Your ass is haunted.


As for headaches related to computer usage...no, not to me. Well not directly. I mean there have been instances where I see something or somebody so stupid I can't help but get a headache.

I just got a new LCD monitor, in hopes that it'll stop the nasty headaches and eye strain I got with my CRT. I'm really sensitive to flickering lights (fluorescent tubes are a BIG no-no), and considering I've nearly blacked out around strobe lights before, I should probably get tested for epilepsy.

That's not odd, that's just a side-effect of how most TVs work...

My TV screen glows sometimes, too. Usually goes away after a second or so.

Other than this, nothing odd happens to me.

I'll do some really weird shit when I am tired. If I want to answer a question yes it will come out of my mouth as no. Plus I become so irritable that i will blow up at anyone. Basically my emotions get all fucked up.

I actually laugh more and am more cheerful when I am tired. So cheerful I even scare myself. That is when I know it's time to go to sleep or I'll be hitting myself over the head with something.

I swear a lot more than usual when I´m really tired. I also forget what people are telling me in about 30 seconds or so.

I´ve only been that tired a couple of times. I played CS with some friends on a LAN party when I was that tired. Suddenly, a flashbang exploded on my screen and I got a little paralyzed and wondered wtf happened.

Yeah, I've seen them glow like that. I think that's just static buildup. The green dot has to be a bad gun though. Which kinda worries me...

No kidding.

I have had screens glow on me before... either they were on for a really long time, or there's a source of UV light somewhere in the room... probably my blacklight.

I have never had my computer give me headaches, but I always (well, usually) have a light on nearby so I don't get headaches and sore eyes.

I'm not too bad about waking up, necessarily.... it's getting me out of bed that's the problem.

That's me. Well, it doesn't work for at most half an hour.

Then again, I do stupid things anytime of the day, so it's not like it's any different.

I've done that on purpose, just do see what it'd be like. Wasn't as bad as you'd think

That's kind of like the time I put soda in my cereal...

I've never seen a computer that doesn't do this.

I'll do crazy things like get up, notice my alarm clock is going off, wonder why it's going off (when it really should be), shut it off, then a minute later think "lucky I woke up on time... why didn't my alarm clock go off?".
