Eyes...
After working long hours, I find that it is my eyes more so than myself/body that is actually tired. They get dry... feeling like closing and are overall uncomfortable. It's worse on longer hours and pretty bad after waking up from a night of ~2-3 hours of sleep.
Do any of you recommend any specific kind of eye drops or eye creams?
p.s. - please don't recommend visine...

I remember when I first started how my eyes hurt at the end of each day. Might not help with you but I recommend to everybody is to turn down the brightness of your screen to the minimum that is still comfortable to look at. It makes a massive difference, trust me.
rohtos are incredible. not
rohtos are incredible. not only are they a pothead's choice due to the excellent redness relief, they are also the most prestigious eye drops due to their high price (8 bucks for .4fl oz)
start with the green ones and once you can handle the intensity, work your way up to Arctic... your eyes will thank you.

This worked for me too. My optometrist also suggested that I remember to blink several times per minute when I'm staring at the screen for so long. It keeps your eyes moist and gives them a tiny break.
I like Thera Tears. They come in individual packets that have a few drops each = more sterile.
ointment
Buy some eye ointment. It seems gross to put what is essentially vaseline in your eyes - but if you do it at night you'll feel a dramatic difference in just a few days.
Eye ointment?
Elaborate... link?

I have very dry eyes, and
I have very dry eyes, and being in front of a screen 16 hours a day does not help. I've tried a ton of brands, but nothing ever gave me relief beyond a few minutes.
I finally found "Refresh Plus" eyedrops. The key is that they don't have any preservatives (most commercial drops do) that actually dry your eyes out more. They come in a box with about 30 little vials, which have about 6 drops in each - usually enough to get me through a day.
Also, be careful about those redness reducing drops - the vasoconstrictors in them can actually make the blood vessels in your eyes loose if you use the drops often, meaning eventually your eyes will be permanently redder all the time, and the drops will lose their effectiveness.

I forgot - you can get Refresh Plus at the drug store - no prescription needed.
Yes, I realize I sound like an infomercial, but these things helped me out big time.

a few things - set the
a few things - set the backdrop/background of the windows to a light gray (i.e., your excel sheet will be grey). Not only will this help reduce strain on your eyes, but you can type in white font which wont show up when printing - pretty key at times. also, turn down the brightness on the screens and if you wear contacts, it might make sense to switch to glasses.
Other than that, your eyes will adjust though your eyesight may get worse - mines did.
