The study, led by Dr. Tetsuya Nakazawa and published in the November issue of the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, found that workers who spent more than five hours per day in front of a computer screen reported significantly higher complaints of sleep-related symptoms and mental stress. Such symptoms included lethargy, anxiety, “difficulty getting along with co-workers,” and a “reluctance to go out to work.”
