Three words: Computer Vision Syndrome.
Pretty sure I have that now. I refuse to believe it is my aging eyes!

Re: Staring at a Screen
@faryl - your post made me laugh. I avoided typing class in high school, then also avoided the computer lab in college in the early 90s. I would write all of my papers by hand, then drive to a woman's house at 3am when I was done, put it inside her screen door, go to bed, then wake up before class and pick it up. Boy did that come back to bite me a few years later when the primary task in my first job was emailing back and forth with Hong Kong!

Re: Staring at a Screen
It sure is!
I remember telling my typing teacher in high school that I had higher aspirations than a job which required me to have typing skills...not only was I a complete brat, I was completely wrong as well!

And after all those years of being warned not to sit too close the TV, we all got jobs sitting 6 inches away from computer screens :)

Re: One flaw in method ...
I wonder how "screen time" is determined too. Is it literally looking at a screen, or do less visual type activities count too?
I use a sleep app to help me fall asleep at night (it's some Scottish guy doing guided meditations) and sometimes listen to podcasts to fall asleep to as well.
I also use my phone for tracking activity or nutrition goals, as a pomodoro timer, a pedometer, gps while driving (just the sound part) and taking photos/videos.
(I always think of "screen time" as visual, but it occurs to me that visually-impaired have screen time too)

Re: Staring at a Screen
@faryl that reminds me of the days when parents would warn children not to sit too close to the TV because they would damage their eyes. But it seems it's not just the proximity but one's position that's a factor in the phone screen effect.

"Everything in moderation" seems like the only thing Americans seem to actually do in moderation. :-)
