Look up, look away: small ways to rest your eyes at a screen
Long hours at a screen can leave eyes tired. A few simple habits that help, and how a gentle reminder can make them stick.
By Jambu1 min read
When we concentrate on a screen we tend to stare and blink less, and by late afternoon many people notice dry or tired eyes. The fixes are small; the hard part is remembering them.
Habits people find helpful
- Every so often, look at something far away — out of a window if you can — for a few seconds.
- Blink slowly a few times on purpose.
- Keep the screen a comfortable arm's length away and avoid glare from a bright window behind it.
- Step away from the screen entirely now and then.
These are general comfort tips, not medical advice. If your eyes stay sore or your vision changes, see an optician or doctor.
Where Jambu fits
Jambu notices long uninterrupted sessions from timing and idle state alone. After a long stretch, it may suggest a moment to look away — at a natural break, not mid-sentence. Snooze it, or turn it down to Essentials or Silence, whenever you prefer.
