This doen’t seem to be particularly new or specific to Netflix. When I am reading a catchy book at night, I often read more chapters than I intended to, occasionally until deep in the night.
- dmix 7y agoSame, plus I remember countless times I stayed up later than I should have as a kid watching network television as a kid in the 1990s. I guess Fox was fighting my sleep too? The main argument seems to be that binge watching makes it worse. But in reality there’s only a small amount of shows that are worthy of binge watching and Netflix has a very finite amount of them...per year.
- the_watcher 7y agoAlso, the author has a TV in their room. Prior to Netflix, unless they watched movies, anything with commercials is also trying to keep you watching (much more so by design). Does anyone else remember how loud Billy Mays would introduce himself late at night?
