Just stopped powering through 5 episodes a night of slow-burn shows

I used to grind through prestige dramas like The Leftovers or Ozark each night until 2 AM, thinking I had to finish the season in 3 days. Then my cleaning schedule got wrecked after I booked a big office in Portland and couldn't afford to be zombie tired the next morning. Now I watch maybe 1 or 2 episodes of something lighter, like Taskmaster or a 22-minute comedy, and actually remember what happened. Has anyone else switched their binge style after a job or life change forced them to slow down?

Powering through 5 episodes a night" sounds like a job in itself. I did that with Breaking Bad once and ended up dreaming about Walt's tighty whities. Now I'm lucky if I finish a single episode of anything before falling asleep on the couch.

Does the couch just trigger you to fall asleep now?
