It's about the same for me. I spend a lot of time in front of the PC though... although I have yet to glow in the dark!

Is there any ergonomics book that also discuss about those proper sitting positions at the computer?

I can't sit on the PC for long enough, I might get too restless!

Not really. I think as long as you are comfortable, it should be okay!

But it's good to take 5-10 minute breaks every hour or so!
