- movements are faster and more automatic.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: it takes longer to make decisions and more mistakes are made.
When you're drowsy, it takes you longer to take in and make sense of what's happening around you. That's why making decisions takes longer and you make more mistakes, for example when crossing or merging into traffic. Your reaction time increases, and your movements become slower, though also more automatic.
