Students with standing desks are more attentive than their seated counterparts, says a study, indicating we think better on our feet, literally.
"Standing workstations reduce disruptive behaviour problems and increase students' attention or academic behavioural engagement by providing students with a different method for completing academic tasks (like standing) that breaks up the monotony of seated work," said Mark Benden, associate professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health in the US.
