Binged all 8 seasons of The Office in 10 days and it ruined my sleep schedule

I was at a friend's cabin in the mountains last weekend and we decided to 'just watch one episode' of The Office around 9 PM - fast forward to 4 AM and we're on season 3 crying over Jim and Pam. Has anyone else had a show totally wreck their ability to function the next day like that?

@uma_johnson nailed it - set a hard episode limit or buy a cheap plug-in timer for your TV.

Ten days straight of The Office sounds about right. You start with good intentions, then suddenly you're at the Dunder Mifflin Christmas party at 3 AM trying to figure out if Jim actually likes Pam. I did that with Breaking Bad once and showed up to work the next day looking like I'd been through chemo myself. My boss asked if I was feeling okay and I just mumbled something about Walt and Jesse. Sleep schedules are overrated anyway, who needs a normal circadian rhythm when you've got Michael Scott wisdom to absorb?
