The Science of Binge Watching: Should I Stop?
Binge-watching is defined as watching two or more episodes of a series at one time. There can be negative consequences to this behavior.

Are you super excited for the new season of “Stranger Things” so you set aside a Friday night and blaze through the whole series?
Or are you wrapped in two fleece blankets on the couch with a half-gallon of Ben & Jerry’s Half-Baked on your lap as episode after episode of “Ted Lasso” scrolls by?
Either way, you’re binge watching. And while sometimes that’s okay, Carla Schnitzlein, DO, a psychiatrist and medical director of Natchaug Hospital, said it’s important that you pay attention to your screen time for your mental health.
