How do you feel after an extended period of hyperfocus ?
I tend to get neck tension, headaches and dizziness. Probably because most of my hyperfocus will be at a PC screen or drawing - both of which aren't helped by my poor posture.
If the focus isn't at a screen I still tend to get a headache of sorts. It's often not a pain, but more like a feeling of tension, like I'm pushing myself too far and have to stop. Then of course there's the fatigue, and need for distraction to help me unwind. Focus and my attention span will usually be all over the place for several hours afterwards. So I often feel disoriented.
