Standing Desk Sit-Stand Scheduler
A personalised alternation schedule for a sit-stand desk — the research ratio, not heroic all-day standing.
Standing desks aren't 'stand all day' machines — all-day standing causes its own problems (leg swelling, back fatigue, varicose risk). The research win is *movement and posture change*, roughly a 1:1 sit-stand ratio once adapted, in 20–30 minute bouts. Build up slowly: jumping to hours of standing on day one just makes your feet hate the desk. An anti-fatigue mat and good shoes matter when standing.
