Woke up with wrist pain after a late-night component installation

Finished assembling my new rig around 2 AM, and now my right wrist is sore when I move it. I was hunched over my kitchen table for hours, tightening screws and routing cables. This has me wondering if I need to adjust my technique or workspace. Does anyone know of PC build guides that include tips for preventing repetitive strain injuries? I'd love to hear how you manage physical comfort during long builds.

Do you warm up your hands before a long build? Quick stretches can make a huge difference.

In my experience, the quick stretches tip really helped with my wrist stiffness.

Isn't it better to warm up before stretching? Stretching cold muscles can sometimes lead to strain. A quick warm up like moving your wrists in circles makes the stretches safer and more effective.

Guess we're all just winging it with our wrist health over here.
