Okay, you know that you have random anx when you worry about stuff like this. I think I went to bed way too late last night watching an exciting TV show box set and then I ended up waking up too early because I got excited on watching it the next day. I'm like--rationally, I know that it's a silly thing to be excited about but the thought kept going over and over in my head and I couldn't get rid of it! Before I knew it, I had worked myself up so much that I felt wide awake. It was morning already and since I'm used to waking up in the morning around that time I felt awake anyway...I just wish I could somehow get rid of those stupid thoughts. I mean I like getting into TV shows like that, it shows that they're very good but I'm afraid if I watch it again (or at least watch it too close to bed) I'm going to see something so thrilling I wont' be able to sleep again or it'll keep going round and round in my head. And I'm about halfway through the series and it's at that point that I can't NOT watch it because I'm that invested already. ARGH...I wish it was a movie so I could just get it done and over with. I'm tempted to just do a marathon watch through just to get it out of my system! I tend to get invested in characters so it's just been my nature to be like this except I haven't come across a show this addicting in awhile. I bet the writers would love to hear that they did this to me...grumble mumble...

Anyway if you're curious it's Heroes the first season. Don't spoil it for me!

Great show and can see why your hooked. I think maybe the key is watching it too late. Maybe try a set time where you just switch the tv off? Try even reading before you go to bed, or listen to some soft music?
