I want a standing desk.

I've started doing exercises for back and posture for being a proctor/invigilator for the SENTA test in two weekends' time. We are not allowed to move except to deal with students' problems - it is about 14 hours. No reading, chewing gum, drinking, etc. Sitting is suicidal because it causes sleep. Sleeping is OK, but I snore, which is not OK. Standing keeps me awake. It is actually a kind of exercise (Alexander technique, etc.)

Last year I could last a day and a bit standing. The last 4 hours saw me sitting in a nearby bar for 6 afterwards - didn't want to get up but couldn't anyway.

So, I really wish I could have one of those desks.

Naja?! Americans are becoming more weird by the day! Suppose it works for mindless work but it is a distraction. Try getting up and walking around every hour. Treadmill desks only in America
