Studies show that high rates of TV viewing correlate to exhaustion.

I would try improving diet and exercise for at least 4 weeks and see if having more energy helps.

Do you mean that I’m too exhausted before I even start watching TV and then I do watch TV. If so, very interesting. Do you know of some studies which you can point here.

Yes, that's what I mean. No, I don't have any studies at my fingertips. I just recall reading it at some point and it works well as a rule of thumb for me, though I don't even own a TV. Still, if I am playing video games and surfing twitter instead of working, I'm usually too tired to actually work.

Passive consumption of media does not take as much concentration as being productive.

Nice.. Thanks.. I will try better diet and working out..
