What Is Binge-Watching?
Binge-watching is a behavioral characteristic that refers to watching multiple episodes of television shows or movies in one sitting. In today’s digital society, with the availability of Netflix, Disney+, and other online streaming platforms, individuals get an easy scope to watch shows and movies for long, uninterrupted periods, using any available device such as tablets, laptops, and mobile phones.
According to research, the phenomenon of binge-watching can be a great way to relax and de-stress, but it can negatively affect our health and well-being. Binge-watching can lead to irritability, anxiety, sleep problems and fatigue, social isolation, decreased physical activity, behavioral addiction, and cognitive decline over time.
A few signs of binge-watching include:
- Watching multiple episodes of a series/TV show for long hours
- Losing track of time while watching TV
- Neglecting other responsibilities, such as work or school, in favor of watching shows or movies
- Remaining in isolation or avoiding direct interaction with others
- Staying up late to watch TV and experiencing fatigue as a result
