Recently I've been taking breaks watching 20-45min* of TV in the middle of the day and I feel like like it gives me a jolt of energy getting me productive again. I work as a software engineer and can safely say my productivity is above average for all the teams I worked with. I wonder if this could be an illusion, and I'm starting an experiment to track this more closely. I barely watched any TV before other than every couple days to unwind after work so this is very surprising to me.
*Usually they're half or full Netflix episodes fo any given show — currently almost done with Travellers.

Does watching TV recharge you?
