Unpopular opinion: My constant neck ache from hunching over a laptop is ruining my work focus

I swear, every afternoon I get this sharp pain that makes it hard to think straight or finish tasks. It's gotten so bad that I'm looking up ergonomic chairs on my breaks, but my company won't pay for one. We really need to stop pretending that physical health doesn't matter for doing good work.

Saw a study saying bad posture cuts brain function, which explains my afternoon stupor too.

Had the same fuzzy brain thing, always blamed long hours. Got a cheap back cushion and forced myself to stretch every thirty minutes. @elizabethc26 mentioning that study got me to give it a try, and now afternoons are clearer. Still not perfect, but hey...
