Screen Apnea Weakens Immune System

Post by ChicagoGranny » Thu Sep 10, 2020 4:26 pm

Experts said screen apnea can disrupt sleep, lower your energy and increase stress all because you're not breathing deeply. Greenfield said it's possible this could lead to a weakened immune system.

Who knew! Well, I guess now we do, thanks to CG.

I'm sure I have screen apnea, especially the last six months. My base boards are glistening and I can only watch TV so long; and reading isn't doing it for me either. I wish I could tinker like men do. My husband can play in the garage all day.

Interesting.
I worked at a computer work station for over 24 years.
The last few years was in front of dual screens.
Do I have basis for a tort against my previous employer?

Try sewing. I've picked it up because I was bored and sick of tv and news.

I actually learned to tinker more and when the tinkering was beyond my novice skills I was the designer and hubby did my tinkering.

My husband jokes about my "Covid yard and garden"....though after my last project that I "designed" last weekend I was informed no more construction this year.

I got a idea for a potting bench for my sister's birthday. Made out of 2 old pallets and 3 boards for trim and legs.

Now I could have done this myself. I have the tinkering skills and tools but hubby was home and would have none of it.

What do you think?

Ahhhh...he's been back on the road since late May. He took some time off April into May when all this mess started....he is 71 after all. Freight was slow initially but pretty much back to normal by June so his employer was okay with him taking some time off.
We did a lot of "tinkering" while he was off. :lol: :lol: And while he complains some ( and likes to blame me) ....a lot of the tinkering/construction he did in April and May was from ideas he came up with out of boredom. Not all the Covid yard was from my brain. Remember....no baseball back then for him to watch or even listen to. He was in bad baseball withdrawal and the casinos were closed. :lol: :lol:

That is so cool ! Much more ambitious than I. Here are my latest covid projects. I recovered the doggie beds ! You can see how helpful my assistant was in the last pic. :lol: :lol:

The bullfrog has been making more masks--not just leather, but upholstery vinyl, too.
Methinks he has gone a bit berserk.

Really Pugsy... this is a CPAP site. Where is a moderator when you need one? I seriously doubt that anyone is the least bit interested in your sex life! :lol: :lol: :lol:

~I just cracked myself up... this new normal is getting to me.

I think your bench is a winner. You guys did a really good job!
