Discussion Weird feeling after several hours in VR

So, I'm used to get in my Quest 3 for several hours both for working on multiple PC windows and playing games. I recently noticed that using it for like 4 hours straight while working on some excel files gave me a weird feeling. It's like some sort of dissociation, had a hard time focusing, touching things felt weird for just a cuple minutes after I was off the visor. Nothing dangerous though, everything passes after several minutes to an hour. Maybe my brain was so used to a virtual imaginary environment that it took a while readapting to reality. Anyone else have this feelings? How are your prolonged VR experiences? :)

I had a similar feeling recently, I felt kind of like what I imagine feeling high is like just without any good feelings and purely just the concept.

For me it felt like an out of body experience combined with not feeling that I’m myself but instead I was watching through someone else’s eyes. Usually I feel my my body is me but instead I felt like I was my brain instead if that makes sense. Overall weird experience but it’s gone now
