Even though Alex takes some precautions while working at his computer, he may still be at risk for the following computer-related health problems:
- **Musculoskeletal problems**: Even with good posture, prolonged sitting and repetitive movements can still lead to strain or discomfort in the muscles and joints.
- **Vision problems**: Staring at a screen for extended periods can contribute to digital eye strain or discomfort, often referred to as computer vision syndrome.
- **Sleep problems**: Although Alex stays off his computer after 6 p.m., extended screen time during the day can still affect his sleep quality due to exposure to blue light and other factors.
- **Headaches**: Prolonged screen time, particularly without adequate breaks, can lead to eye strain and tension headaches.
So, all of the options listed apply:
- Musculoskeletal problems
- Vision problems
- Sleep problems
