i wonder if the staying behind the computer for 8hr per day can cause a skin burn just lik sun burns.?

No, but there is a lot of radiation caused by computer monitors. Limit your use, but that may not be the reason why. Maybe you're allergic to some product that you used or ate.

Theoretically, yes.  However, it would take a long period of time.  Windows reflect 95% of the UV rays that actually cause a sunburn, so 5% of the UV is getting through that can potentially sunburn you over a period of time.

when u get sunburnt, u are getting burnt by uv rays that is solar radiation..... it is like sticking urself into a microwave.... where as a normal burn like a scold or a dry burn (flame) does not contain radiation unless it is contaminated by radiation....

Exposure to sunlight can (obviously) cause burns.  Over time, over-exposure can lead to cancer, as harmful solar radiation causes mutations in the DNA of your skin cells.  Sunight can also burn your retinas by being magnified by the lenses within your eyes.  Blindness can occur.\n\nOn the bright side, without sunlight we would all die by freezing to death.  If we could somehow survive that, we would then all die because without the sun, plants could not take carbon dioxide out of the air and create oxygen for us to breathe.  Sunlight is also needed in the production of vitamin D in our bodies.  Strangely, vitamin D helps against overproduction of cells, which is cancer!\n\nSunlight can both create AND prevent cancer!  You gotta love our sun!

DON'T!  It is much safer to tan with self tanning products.  If you really like to lay out, that is safer than a tanning bed. Make sure to use sunscreen!  The damaging rays in the tanning bed are higher concentrated than the sun's rays.  Tanning beds filter out some of the UV rays(the rays that are responsible for burning your skin) but gives you 3 times the exposure of uva radiation when compared to the sun! UVA rays, or "tanning rays," have long wavelengths that penetrate deep into your skin. They tan your skin, but don't burn you. Overexposure to UVA rays can lead to long-term skin damage. \n Although UVB is the more harmful type of radiation, UVA is linked with immune system damage and malignant melanoma. Melanoma is now the most common and deadliest form of skin cancer in women aged 25-29. Researchers also say that since UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, they destroy skin fibers and damage elasticity, causing premature aging, wrinkles and leathery skin.\nWhen you're older and your skin is still smooth and supple, you'll be thankful that you avoided tanning beds and slathered on sunscreen with SPF 30! Remember, the best and safest way to get a tan is to fake it - use a self-tanning lotion for your face and body, and apply bronzer to your cheeks and forehead for a warm, summery look.\n  I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!

Yes.  Particularly on my arms and hands.  I have to keep Sunscreen with a 50SPF on year round on these areas.  Even when I have stopped taking these pills over the years, I still have the problem. I also burn very easily.  I got second degree burns being in a pool on a cloudy day a few years ago.  No more enjoying the summer.

vitamin D since you'd want to advoid the sun.  Also, you might want to avoid heat. It can cause fatigue.  Look up erythema ab igne.  Sun tan lotion traps in heat

Increased risk of sunburn, heatstroke and skin cancer Id guess

Unless you have a surge protector and a backup system, it isn't recommended to leave your computer on. If lightning strikes, it can fry out the electronics in your computer.

I can only tell you about leaving your computer on 24/7. \n\nLeaving it on all depends on how long you leave it on, and what kind of computer you have. If your fan isnt very good, your computer might overheat and cause a malfuction. Id get some kind of program that can see how fast and how hot your computer is getting.

It depends if you need it on all night. If you're doing some maintenance, from time to time, it's okay to leave your computer running all night? Why would you want to leave it running otherwise? Your computer isn't going to last forever. Leaving it running 24 hours a day, seven days a week is just a waste of energy and your computer, if you ask me.

Yes they do, they are weird.  Their method is to go stand in the sun for a minuet one day and double that minuet the next day and keep on doing that until they've reached about 6 hourse of sunbathing a day.  My friend saw a Solaterran couple sunbathing for like an hour and creeped her out!

Yes, you can burn. It is not a sunscreen.

Tell the second friend to stop being such a fraidy-cat wimpy weenie.\n\nWe are surrounded and exposed to radiation every second of every day.  Radiation is not the problem, it is the amount of radiation over a specific period of time that causes trouble.  Just like with laying out in the sun to get a tan -- if you lay out for 30 minutes per day, you get a nice, even tan.  If you lay out for 8 hours on the beach, you get a painful burn.\n\nSame thing for everyday radiation exposures -- the human body can repair a small amount of radiation damage, such as the exposure you get from a dental X-ray or being in a granite building.  What the body has trouble with is repairing a large amount of damage done by high-intensity radiation absorbed in a very short period.

Honey, I understand! Here is what I do, and I hate before I do it, but it works. When it is cold, dark, rainy, etc. I do not want to do a thing. I'd rather lay in bed or in the house watching TV and eating all day. But, we can lead a very productive life that way can we. So what I do is drag my lazy butt to the shower, get dressed, make-up and all, and go outside and just become part of what is going on. Really it helps. Something else that helps but I hate to recommend b/c it isn't good for your overall health, is artificial sunlight. However, if you put sunblock all over you and go lay in a tanning bed for 7-10 minutes, it'll perk you up a little, but not as much as learning to enjoy the day by doing something outdorsy no matter what the weather is like.

No, it's not dangerous at all. Even the answer about sperm cells is rediculous. There's no harm in it, aside from the computer getting hot, which will likely happen if you use it for a while. But I'm guessing you have the common sense to move it if it gets to hot. Falling asleep with it on your lap shouldn't be a problem either. Regardless of anything you've heard, it's not harmful in any way.
