**Quick Tips**:
There has been a rise in posts and replies talking about sleep deprivation. I agree Steemit is addictive.
>@jordanallen : I'm addicted but I can stop at anytime! I just don't want to.

We however need to take care of our health. Here are some quick tips:
- Download fl.ux for PC or iOS devices or Twilight for Android devices. 
> Is your computer keeping you up late? f.lux is free software that warms up your computer display at night, to match your indoor lighting.

**Prevent bad posture**
- Get an industrial standard mouse and avoid using your laptops trackpads. Arched necks, dumb thumbs are painful.
- Get an adjustable laptop stand
- Pick ergonomic places to work in.
- Sleep…… :)
