*5.2.6 Lack of physical activity*

If you spend your life lying on a cot without physical activity, you will be more likely to move towards heart disease with stroke [83].

The more often you watch TV, the softer you become, and the less likely you are to exercise for less than an hour. Six years of research show that more than 40% of adults over 15,000 are less likely to exercise.

### *5.2.7 Effect on brain*

Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital recently discovered that falling asleep in front of a fluorescent light (about four hours) before going to bed results in less sleep, less REM sleep, and grogginess the next day, even after eight hours. The TV emits blue light that inhibits the release of melatonin, a hormone that helps you knock off [84].

### *5.2.8 Effect on the cardiovascular system*

A type of disease that affects the blood vessels, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions that include heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease [85]. People with CVD also have other conditions such as obesity, high glucose, smoking, and lack of exercise.

Worldwide, around 17.9 million people died due to CVD in 2015. In China, it has been reported that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among the over-60 population [86]. Some of the risk factors that can contribute to this condition include being overweight, having diabetes, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome.

## **5.3 Managing binge-watching**


### **5.4 Binge-watching is closely associated with sleep**

Aside from affecting melatonin production, screen exposure can also affect sleep by interfering with the arousal response [87]. In studies, it has been shown that playing video games can increase activity in the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to prolonged sleep onset [88–90]. Another study revealed that social media use can affect the latency of sleep [91].

Studies on binge-watching have suggested that arousal could be a mediator of sleep. These shows, which are usually very complex and intense, tend to have a strong narrative structure and develop complex characters. As a result, viewers who watched these types of shows were more likely to become immersed in the story. Because of the complexity of the stories and the high emotional involvement, it has been theorized that binge-watching can affect sleep by interfering with the arousal response.

## **6. Conclusion**

Any habit has a great impact on our lives, whether that habit is good or bad for our health. These habits are first triggered psychologically in our brain and simultaneously found an effect in the body. Bad habits have not acceptable for our health, but we should pay more attention to good habits because of anything in excessive amounts. is not good for our health such as Binge eating, binge drinking, and binge watching are the things that make our brain happy but harm our body. Any habit that *The Physiological Effect of Excessive Indulgence: Its Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.109099*

behaves like a drug, which sometimes causes scars. We do not cure it in any other way. So, there is a defined way to cure every habit and identify it to make our life healthy and normal.

*"A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time."*
