After a hard day at work, you’ve earned some TV or game time.
That could backfire, according to a new study in the Journal of Communication. Researchers watched participants who watch TV – or play video games after a stressful day at work. The results: Instead of feeling relaxed or rewarded, the gamers and couch potatoes ended up feeling like failures with higher levels of guilt.
While that TV or device time may help you detach from the stresses of work, it also helps you detach from life and the potentially productive post-work hours that can make you feel like you’ve really accomplished something, other than work.
