Can you have migraines if you look at your laptop and cell phone for a long time? If so, why is that?

Then you get a headache. You can get migraines without a cell phone etc.

Because it overwhelms the eyes with the bright light and the constant staring at one point e.g. Try not to set the brightness too high and take regular breaks.

Migraines are one of many types of headache that can occur from cell phone or computer use. Factors include tensions in the neck-shoulder area, but they can also be triggered by tensions in muscles close to the head or stress. Take regular breaks (at least a 5-minute break every 45-60 minutes), drink enough caffeine and alcohol-free liquid and make sure there's enough distance between the screen and your eyes.

Yes of course. You can get a headache or even migraines.

The attitude, the wrong distance, too few breaks.

In people with a predisposition to migraines, this can trigger a migraine attack. People without this predisposition can get tension headaches.

In any case, it helps:

Decrease the brightness on the laptop / cell phone
Take regular breaks of at least 5-10 minutes. Look into the distance and do stretching exercises (stretch all limbs).
Drink at least 2 liters of (unsweetened) drinks throughout the day.
Regular healthy eating
Adequate and regular sleep
Have your eyesight checked (possibly glasses)
Having the cervical spine (neck) checked for tension by the orthopedist (possibly physiotherapy)
