My brother told me my 'one episode before bed' thing was a lie, and he was right
My brother stayed with me for a week in April and caught me firing up episode 4 of a show at 11pm when I'd already said goodnight. He laughed and said "you don't watch one episode, you watch until the plot stops moving fast." That stuck with me because he was dead on, I'd been lying to myself about it for like two years. Since then I've been picking shows that wrap up each episode clean instead of the cliffhanger kind, and I actually sleep now. What's your tell that a show is gonna wreck your whole night?
