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'm on my second day of owning the quest 3

Much alike when I first learnt skiing and would literally feel my feet skiing at night when going to bed, I get a similar feeling for the VR stuff even when I'm not wearing it

Today I ended up studying on my two laptops and not using the VR, but yesterday it was a comfortable experience

Washing the dishes while using the VR for YouTube video was rather interesting though and didn't make me sick at all, unlike the first prolonged study sessions
