Just got burned by the worst binge decision ever

I started watching "The 100" on a Tuesday night while parked at a truck stop outside Flagstaff. By episode 3 of season 5, I was hooked and stayed up until 4 AM thinking I could power through. That next morning I nearly missed my delivery window because I was so groggy and almost backed into a loading dock. Now I set a hard stop at 11 PM on work nights and actually stick to it. Has anyone else wrecked their routine from a show that just wouldn't let go?

my buddy marco pulled the same stunt with "Breaking Bad" when he was driving cross country. he thought he could just watch one more episode, and then next thing he knew he'd binged like half of season 4 in one night. he ended up missing his exit by like 30 miles and had to turn around on some sketchy back road. the guy still jokes about how he almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere because he couldn't stop watching. now he sets a timer on his phone before he even starts a show, just to be safe.

Well that timer trick probably saves him about once a month. Bet he still ignores it when Jesse Pinkman shows up.
