how do you devs deal with computer/screen headaches?

I’m a CS student, and last year at my software internship i had a pounding headache literally every day at work (worked 40 hours a week). I started drinking like 6 bottles of water a day and popping advil like candy, but i want to avoid them this summer.

any of you l33t vet devs have any secret tricks for these?

    Get some Gunnars? Reduce the blue light setting? (Only if you're not doing front end stuff). Most importantly:

    DARK THEME.

    I personally like tee or "punch" to drink. And try to find some activity to relax. It's not all work and dev!

    Ketogenic diet stopped my headaches. They come back when I eat carbs or do coding all nighters.

    Good quality chair，eye drops， water and majijuana (as for exercising， thinking about it is enough to get me cracking a sweat and feeling thursty).
