• Ergonomics from NPR’s Life Kit: Stretch and rest! You’re a person, not a product: A lot of people have found they work longer hours at home than the office. If you find yourself aching for a nap, remember, you’re not lazy, you just need rest. And if you’re glued to your computer or your desk for hours on end, it’s probably time to revisit our episode on ergonomics – it will remind you to pay attention to discomfort, and to keep yourself moving throughout the day. Good posture is important for everyone!
