Netflix and other streaming services have become extremely popular over the last few years. Although streaming through online services is often thought of as self-care and relaxation, binge-watching has become a common watching pattern. This opinion-editorial will report upon the ways binge-watching leads to daily challenges and long-term consequences when it comes to our mental and physical health, socialization and ability to reach goals. Furthermore, it will discuss important implementations that will reduce the negative effects associated with binge-watching to aid in the pursuit of self-control.
