The 747-400 has a Crew Alertness Monitor. It will generate an Eicas message "Pilot input" required when no input has been detected. A press of the FMC, a brief click of the microphone, or an auto-pilot input clears the message.
777 Does also.
It's on some 767's as well, perhaps the Microsoft pilots here always stay awake and have never seen it.
