The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week.People, therefore, have created a new
term：binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.
In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences.
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health?They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group's health condition was worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising.It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that's not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.
