You have finished all your homework on Sunday afternoon. You lie on the sofa to watch a new TV show. You plan to watch two or three episodes (集) at most. Yet, you don’t stop until it’s past midnight. You’ve gone through the whole season. You’ve gone on a binge-watching TV shows (疯狂刷剧)!
Binge-watching has something to do with a part of our brain that makes us feel good. When we start binge watching, our brain produces something that makes us feel pleasure. As we watch more and more episodes, it grows, so we feel great.
Writers and directors also try to get us to binge-watch. They design shows that keep people’s interest. Something exciting usually happens at the end of each episode. This is called a cliffhanger, and its purpose is to keep viewers wondering “What will happen next?” So, they keep watching.
Although binge-watching can be enjoyable, it may become an unhealthy habit. It keeps people from doing more productive activities. For example, instead of sitting in front of the TV, you could exercise, do housework, or study for exams. It may also cause problems for people the next day. Staying up late to finish a show means you get less sleep. So you perform poorly at work or school. Luckily, there are some steps you can take to stop this bad habit.
For starters, try to remind yourself to say “no” to the next episode. If you have trouble with it, then try to stop the shows in the middle when exciting things aren’t happening.
