If I watch a screen with moving parts, I quickly experience overstimulation. The more action on the screen the worse it is. The more noise, the worse. I can handle no more than about 30 minutes, with breaks. If I push it, I become foggy and confused and the following day is downhill. Of course, I am still early in my recovery, so that may have something to do with it.
On a good note, we got rid of tv/cable. What a wonderful choice. Now if I want to see something, I have to choose (a video). So much better.
