How do I get rid of headaches from looking at the computer screen all day?

I have a new job where I'm staring at the computer for about 7+ hours. I'm experiencing severe headaches from this in the evenings and am wondering what can be done to help with this.

Answer
i work I.T. for the federal government so i had this problem alot when i started. but heres what i can advise.

if you have access to natural light(a skylight or window) open it and let it in, not only will the fresh air help you feel better but the natural light is less painful than the florescent.

turn the brightness down on your monitor a tad, most of the time its set at the maximum but it can actually be around half that and still be quite usable. this really helps if your office(or bedroom, or whatever) has dim lighting.

take a break. i know this sounds silly, but it really does help, every hour or so take a 10 min. break, if you don't have time for that, take a 5 min break. grab some coffee, or a snack.this really will help the most, even just taking 30 seconds to read a poster or a piece of paper gives your eyes a bit of time to relax. this helps alot if you eyes water when you close them or look away from the screen.

adjust the text size on your computer. even a 10% change lets your eyes focus on something large, making you squint less.

drink more water. i know this sounds unrelated but keeping hydrated helps get rid of alot of headaches, yours may not only be from the computer, but from dehydration as you sit there for hours on end.

and best of luck with the new job, dont be afraid to talk to your boss about it, if he has the same sort of job he'l understand completely.

also most states have guidelines and laws about worker protection, find a copy for your state and take a look,

What kind of bedding would go well with this area rug?

I'm moving to a new house soon and am planning out my bedroom. The room has dark faux wood (laminate) flooring, and neutral beige colored walls. Because i'm not a big fan of flooring in bedrooms i bought a stylish area rug!

What kind of bedding would go well with the colors and patterns in it? pictures of examples would be helpful!

Thanks!
