It seems to suck the life out of life and impair my ability to function in the real world. I've tried various things to counteract the problem, but the only thing that really works is not getting on the computer, and that works really well. I think part of the problem is caused by my processing information, but I think part is due to radiation/glare from the laptop screen. Has anyone dealt with this successfully? I'd love to know how you did it. - Grant
