Title: Video Game Break Rule
Post by: Fierce Deity Link on June 30, 2008, 08:10:17 AM
Okay. The reason I wasn't on for the past weeks was because I was major grounded. :-* My mom sas I need to take breaks from now on, but I'm not sure how long. Any help? I think you break by half the time you play, so 1 hr 30 min game time, 45 min of break time. Am I right? :-\

For every hour of constant staring at a computer screen or video game screen, you should have fifteen minutes away from it to allow your eyes to rest.

So at least a quarter of the time, yes.

Taking a break periodically, even if it pulls you out of your "zone," is always a good idea. As was mentioned before, you should take at least a fifteen minute break every hour or so to walk around a bit and give your eyes a break.

Personally, I read somewhere that playing video games makes your eyes stronger. But, of course, I guess it said nothing about it if you played them nonstop.

I think I know what you're talking about... I can see why, too, because in a lot of games, you have to keep focus on a certain position for an extended period of time, so it's probably good for focus. However, if you play to the point that your eyes burn, that's probably not good.
