Top 10 Tips for Healthy Gaming

Gaming is a wonderful hobby, but like anything, it's best enjoyed in moderation. Here are our top tips for healthy gaming.

1. Set Time Limits

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Use our timer to track your sessions and stick to your limits.

2. Take Regular Breaks

Every 30 minutes, take a 5-10 minute break. Stand up, stretch, and move around.

3. Stay Hydrated

Keep a water bottle nearby and drink regularly. Dehydration can cause headaches and fatigue.

4. Maintain Good Posture

Sit with your back straight, feet flat on the floor, and screen at eye level.

5. Protect Your Eyes

Follow the 20-20-20 rule and consider using blue light filtering glasses or screen settings.

6. Don't Skip Meals

Set reminders to eat regular, healthy meals. Gaming on an empty stomach isn't fun!

7. Get Enough Sleep

Avoid gaming right before bed. The blue light and excitement can disrupt your sleep.

8. Balance Gaming with Other Activities

Make time for exercise, socializing, and other hobbies.

9. Play in a Well-Lit Room

Gaming in the dark strains your eyes. Keep ambient lighting on.

10. Listen to Your Body

If you feel tired, have a headache, or your eyes hurt, it's time to stop.
