[Effects of monotonous computer work on performance].
A monotonous, automated task of prolonged duration performed on a computer is likely to increase the propensity to sleep. Present research shows the physiological effect is not perceived by the subjects in terms of drowsiness or a change of mood. This augments the risk of this effect causing unforeseeable bouts of sleep during the performance of the task.
