Help! I Can't Stop Binge-Watching Before Bed
from Sleep Talking With Dr. Shelby · host Sleepopolis
Ever stream something before bed, listeners? Ever fall asleep still listening to your speakers or headphones? Have you ever put on something new and just lost track of time? If so, it's possible you've been binge watching. And you're not alone. I do it too, sometimes. According to recent surveys, an estimated 70 to 90 percent of Americans routinely binge watch. That's not entirely surprising. The advent of streaming and the ability to consume countless hours of nearly anything is still relatively new. And the associated health concerns are still being studied. So how does binging like this really affect our sleep? Is it that much worse to binge in bed?
