Fringe?

[edit]

This article seems fringe. A paucity of sources, and too specific - two of the sources refer to it as 'screen apnea' to broaden the scope, since it can occur during many different activities on a screen/computer (I tend to exhale and forget to inhale when in stressful intervals gaming). It's an anxiety/stress symptom; email just happened to be the trigger for the Microsoft researcher who coined the term.

I'd go for a request for deletion, but it never hurts to get other opinions before diving into a formal process; as well, I loathe engaging in formal processes on WP. I suppose an alternative might be a page move to 'screen apnea', but it doesn't really alter the underlying fringe nature of it.

Unfortunately, the article page stats shows a grand total of six editors; and only 317 page views in the last thirty days, and this talk page only two pageviews. So low probability of anyone actually engaging here; hope springs eternal however. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 22:08, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it's an anxiety/stress symptom. That email specifically induces enough anxiety and stress to cause shallow breathing seems interesting enough. That this doesn't affect (some?) trained musicians and athletes is even more interesting. How do they learn to breathe regularly under stress so well that they can apply it to email and presumably to everything? I did not learn this when learning to play the piano. If there's a better article about all that, certainly this one should be redirected. Amadeuspagel (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
