1. Lack of physical activity: Sitting for long periods of time can lead to less physical activity and the muscles do not get enough movement and stretching, which can lead to muscle fatigue and a feeling of stiffness. Prolonged sitting may also lead to a slowing of blood circulation, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients, which can lead to fatigue and lethargy.?
2. Eye fatigue: Staring at a computer screen or other close work for a long time can easily lead to eye fatigue. Constant focusing of the eyes and changes in the viewing distance may lead to eye muscle fatigue, which can produce uncomfortable sensations such as dry, heavy and blurred eyes.?
3. Poor body posture: Sitting incorrectly or maintaining the same posture for long periods of time may lead to spinal and joint discomfort, such as fatigue and soreness in the lumbar spine, cervical spine, and shoulders. In addition, sitting for long periods of time may also lead to a slowing of venous blood return, which can lead to bruising and fatigue in the lower extremities.?
4. Psychological stress: Prolonged sitting may be accompanied by intense work, stressful work rhythms, and highly focused tasks, which can lead to psychological stress and fatigue, making people feel tired and unfocused.?
5. Lack of rest and relaxation: Prolonged sitting may lead to a lack of rest and relaxation, which can accumulate physical and mental fatigue. Lack of adequate rest and relaxation time may make a person feel tired and mentally unfit.?
To reduce the fatigue associated with prolonged sitting, the following measures can be taken:
1. Regular Activity: At regular intervals, stand up and stretch your body, move your muscles, and promote blood circulation and oxygen supply.?
2. Maintain good posture: Sit properly and try to avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time. You can use proper sitting posture, chairs and office equipments so that your spine and joints can be well supported and relaxed to reduce body fatigue.
3. Eye exercises: Every now and then, perform eye exercises, including eyeball rotation, looking away from the screen to see distant places, etc., to relieve eye fatigue.?
4. Balance work and rest: Reasonable arrangement of work and rest time, avoiding long hours of continuous work, and ensuring enough time for rest and relaxation can help reduce psychological stress and fatigue.?
5. Maintaining a happy mood: Positively adjusting the mindset and maintaining a happy mood can relieve psychological stress and fatigue.?
6. Exercise: moderate physical exercise outside of work, such as walking, jogging, yoga, etc., can help enhance physical fitness and reduce fatigue.?
7. Get enough sleep: Good sleep quality and enough sleep time are very important for relieving fatigue, so keep a regular work schedule and create a good sleep environment.
If fatigue persists or worsens as a result of prolonged sitting, it is recommended that you consult your doctor or a healthcare professional for more detailed evaluation and treatment.
