Started a new show at 8pm last night and didn't stop until 3am - hit episode 11 and realized it was the finale
I was so into this British crime drama that I accidentally binged the entire first season in one sitting. Has anyone else lost track of time like that and missed a whole night of sleep without noticing?

Season 2 of The Fall did that to me a few years back. I started it around 9pm thinking "just one episode" and next thing I knew the sun was coming up and I had finished all six episodes. My advice is to set a hard rule for yourself: no starting a new season after 7pm unless you're okay losing the whole night. Also keep a glass of water nearby so you get up to use the bathroom and snap out of the trance. Your brain just gets hooked on the "one more" feeling and the next thing you know its 4am and youre questioning your life choices.

The water tip works but I'd add a 5 minute timer between episodes.
