Binge Watching
Binge watching, a scientifical process!
Binge-watching is an easy, feel-good fix. For many viewers, binge-watching gives us an escape from the day-to-day grind. Entertainment has always offered a way to escape from the pressures of daily life, and binge-watching is no exception. "TV viewers are no longer zoning out as a way to forget about their day, they are tuning in, on their own schedule, to a different world. Getting immersed in multiple episodes or even multiple seasons of a show over a few weeks is a new kind of escapism that is especially welcomed today". The line between enjoyment and unhealthy habits. Binge-waching can be a great way to relax and de-stress, but it can easily become a problem when you regularly prioritize it over other important activities. Like gambling, or other behavioral addictions, binge-watching activates the part of our brain responsible from "reward" functions, producing dopamine : it makes us feel
good. And it takes more and more of the same activity to give us that feeling of enjoyment, making binge-watching much harder to stop.When we're forced to stop watching (usually when we finish the entire series) we quite literally "mourn" the loss of the show.Striking a good binge-watching balance.It's important to remember that there's a fine line between healthy viewing habits and addictive behavior. Commit to only watching a certain number of episodes in advance, then cut yourself off and balance your binge-watching with activities like exercise or spending time with friends.
