I wonder if the majority of people on here spend more than 13 hours a day. It seems crazy to me spending that much time looking at screens but when I see how much time some programming projects take I think wow, they must be looking at screens 80 hours a week to pull this work off.
I sometimes want to watch tv or play video games after work but after already staring at a screen for 9 hours, I have to read a book or do some other activity. Im not sure its good for us.
Looking a mere 30cm in front of you for extended periods of time isn’t great either, along with a lack of excercise. Not unique to computers, but there are multiple reasons which combined can make prolonged PC or phone usage unhealthy.

My solution is that my screen is 20 feet away and battery powered, and I keep the batteries on a separate floor, so every 2 hours, I have to get up and do the stairs at the very minimum. But I also tend to walk around or do my life while using the screen, since it also floats around and follows me wherever I go. And when not using a floating screen, I just visit other random worlds that tend to involve alot exercise, like people trying to murder me but I have swords, or magic, or guns… or maybe a world where the objective is dancing… but usually the murder worlds.
That’s very fair. Not necessarily the screen itself or the mental effects, but the associated activities. I forget what I’ve had to incorporate into my habits to fight that sedentarianism. I’m still not great at avoiding it.
