No, any couch, like hotel couch also, like in the room, right? But I used to work like very ergonomically with like a standing desk and everything like perfect, like eye height, screen, blah, blah, blah. And I felt like, Man, this has to do with lifting too. I started getting RSI, like repetitive strain injury, like tingling stuff. And it would go all the way on my back.
