I find myself falling asleep in the unergonomic cheap chairs at work. Does this community find it helps keep the user alert?

I can only say that I've never fallen asleep on my ball chair although it is very comfortable. I think you would fall off at some point.

Nope. I only used for post-surgery. I was not sleeping much anyway . But it's a nice prop for PC or reading.

I would have to say it's more for lumbar/back relief. But, maybe it's worth a try. If the back is straight and supported, then the rest of things usually fall into place too. I have a Tempur Pedic cushion to sit on for my office chair and it helps me in that department.

My knees do start to feel uncomfortable after three or four hours, but if I take brief breaks I can sit in it all day. It's much better than the constant lower back pain I used to feel from sitting in a regular chair. I have not had a problem with my legs or feet going to sleep.

For me it personally does. I really dig it, it doesn't cause me anxiety when I get up. I really like it. I know you didn't ask but, the sleep tracking function is also very nice as well.

I don't think so. The cushioned seat is comfortable and you can leave arms folded down to extend width of seat. However, it is not made to be a gaming chair (it does not rock), so I would think one might have a problem with legs falling asleep from sitting so close to the ground for an extended period of time; but, not from the seat itself.

If you have a pretty regular schedule, (9-5 job, don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, etc) you might be able to put it on a timer (preferably a 7 day timer) and program when you may need a warm seat. Also, most timers have a manual override for those unexpected occurrences. I don't have mine yet, but it looks like the controller is a manual, switch style that remembers where it was set when power is removed.

I feel that it does. May I ask how tall are you? The taller the better, very comfortable I've fallen asleep in the chair so many times. well I hope this helps anymore question don't be afraid to ask.

I flipped the hinge on mine so that it would not rock backward at all. Very comfortable computer chair but the catch is that your computer desk must be extremely low. I was using an adjustable shelf system (like the kind used in those expensive closet organizer systems from elfa) as a desk surface so I was able to bring my desk down to accomodate. Without the adjustable height desk this chair would NOT otherwise work for PC gaming.

I have done this two ways, one with chain and one with a fiber strap. I like the strap the best because there is not added sound or click. I thought about using steel wire but the adjustment was to much work. The chair needs to be adjusted to the length of the leg so that your foot does not go to sleep.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

No it is very comfortable ! It does not make any noise when you move but that being said it does not block any noise ! I worked nights and found it better to black out my windows ! It worked the best.

I bought this chair for that purpose exactly and I use it nightly... Fall asleep on it and nurse on it...It is comfortable and great value for money. But... When you close the recliner leg part to get off, it makes a noise when it locks. In the middle of the night it's annoying... It rocks and it is comfortable to nurse on. The material is comfortable. Congrats!!

I think the chair is comfortable, but I don't get to sit very much on my job. It does give some support.

That is an interesting question. I have some other health issues and so I probably use the sunlamp a bit differently. I don't necessarily use it at the same time every day - as is recommended. I do know that when I am really crashing from fatigue and I absolutely can't stop yawning and feeling like I'm going to fall asleep at my desk, I turn on the sunlamp and within a half hour or so, I realize that I'm not yawning anymore. I may not be at 100% perky - but I am much more awake and able to concentrate. I know that it has helped me a lot and have recommended it to friends.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. My chair seems to work fine. Wish I had a suggestion for you.

I don't feel it's all that loud but if you are gaming and repeatedly mashing the mouse button hard and fast in a completely silent house I am sure that it could disrupt someone from sleep but I think most mice would do that. This has been my all time fave mouse I have bought 4 of them and been the most happy with both the shape and the way you can weight it to be the right feel for you.
