Ask HN: How many hours do you sit in front of a computer per day?

10-12

9-16

over 9000 (ea, 14-20)

Too many.

Probably 10 on weekdays, 3 on weekends. I would rather be outside.

Wake up, spend ~20 hours at my PC with a break for pizza in the middle then sleep for ~10 hours, repeat. Not recommended.

average around 14 a day

12-13 between work and home

Around 10 hours during week days and 3 - 4 hours during weekends. Curious to know why this question? do you plan on doing any kind of research based on the data or is it just a random question. I would be rather interested how productive people are in those hours that we spend...

9-11 hours a day.

Probably 12-14? What else is there to do anymore?

If you include TV/tablets/phones then it's probably most of my waking time, especially in the week.

Why not have a poll with some ranges?

o 1-3

o 4-7

o 7-10

etc

10

10-12 hours a day.

Does standing in front of a computer also count?

12-15 hrs

~10 on a weekday.

10-12 hours per day. This is the trap of developing software for a living and trying push out your own software in your spare time. I often ask if it's worth it. I used to spend a lot more time outside. But the desire to build my own systems is too strong now. If only I had a 40 hour week of that :)

I'd say at least 12 hours per day without counting time spent on my Android device. Between working, personal emails, browsing, tv shows, etc. Not even counting time spent playing as it depends on the weeks

Oh boy, reading some comments on hours spent on weekends makes me feel like I have no life other than in front of computer!

I stand up(not sit down) over 8 hours, maybe more. I enjoy it a lot.

I also stand barefoot(very very important as normal footwear forces your weight over your toes, witch is bad for your knees and posture), and learnt how to stand in a right posture from books.

The first thing I do in the morning is exercise, and it really helps to boost my energy(it has to do with the lymphatic system).

It took me months to get the musculature in my legs, now in the subway I don't want to sit.

hmm from 9 - 5, excluding lunch is 7 hours. from 7 to 12 is another 5 hours, so 12 hours a day. if you got mobile devices, add another 1 hour, so that's 13.

I'd trade some of it for time with a real human being, preferably someone that feels soft :)

Having spent too many hours in front of a computer every day I've just moved to Granada in Spain to redress the balance a bit. Working from home I'm now in front of the computer about 4-5 hours a day. The difference in daily output is negligible.

8-9 throughout the week. 2-3 on the weekends.

With these numbers, I'm not considering Hulu, which is my primary source of "brain: off" entertainment.

For me, I wake up around 9am and am at my computer until 2-3am everyday.

I usually take a 30m break to walk my dog and a 2hr gym excursion every other day. So most days I'm at my computer for 13 hrs at least :-) Got to love programming
