Tried watching just one episode of The Bear before bed, ended up finishing the whole first season by 4am
I told myself I would watch one episode on a Tuesday night around 10pm. Six episodes later I was still on the couch at 4am and had to call in tired the next morning. On one hand, a show that pulls you in that hard is rare and worth telling people about. On the other hand, I lost a whole night of sleep and my Wednesday was a wreck. Where do you all draw the line between a great binge and a bad decision?
My buddy did the exact same thing with Severance last month. Started it at like 9pm on a work night, texted me at 3am saying "I can't stop, this is a problem." He ended up calling out sick the next day and his boss was not happy about it. Where I draw the line is if I have something important the next morning, I just don't start new shows after 9. Learned that one the hard way too many times.
