I too deal with this problem with viewing a computer monitor and getting sleepy or faint. Something that gave me quite an improvement was to adjust my graphics adaptor settings away from the highest color detail. I see the graphics of the letters now are much more distinct and they do not blur togethere as much as before. As a result I donot suffer from the heavy eye feeling nearly as much as before.

One thing that might be helpful is to enlarge the text that you are reading.
A slightly larger font can be less fatiguing.

Great suggestion chunkyfrog!

I'm going to give it a try. I'm dealing with excessive daytime sleepiness. It seems worse on the days I work. As a software developer, I spend a lot of time sitting at a computer on work days. I use a dual monitor set up and the smaller of the two monitors I use is almost in a different zip code

I'll bump up the font size and see if I can get the monitors s closer. Reading this last smaller line made y'all sleepy, didn't it?
