Visual Focus

  • Where you physically place a screen or book in your workspace plays an important role in alertness
  •  When looking down toward the ground, neurons related to calm and sleepiness are activated
  • Ideally, work while standing or seated, not laying in bed or on the couch
  • Standing and sitting up straight while looking at a screen or book that is elevated will generate maximal levels of alertness
  • You will create maximum alertness, focus, and cognition when you bring your eyes to a narrow point in space – keep the visual focus narrow, around the side of the head or right outside the eyes.
