How to create the ultimate TV escape with Dr. Sophie Mort

With over a third (38%) of young adults taking only a couple of days to complete a new series, Dr. Sophie Mort provides tips to guarantee the ultimate sofa experience this summer.

1. TV can be good for you, embrace it

Watching TV can help decrease loneliness (if you feel bonded with the characters), increase connectivity(as you have a shared community with other fans) and lessen levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.

2. Scrap scrolling

It can be frustrating to spend an evening on the sofa, feeling uninspired and undecided by what to watch next.People even fall out with friends or family over such debates. The Neo QLED QN95B features a
Smart Hub that guides users to their favourite content.

3. Say bye to ‘post-show blues’

Over a quarter (26%) of young adults feel ‘lost’ or ‘empty’ when a series ends. Before you have a rebound fling with another series, reflect about what moved or inspired you and consider how you can bring an
element of what you experienced while watching into your own life.

4. Learn a new language

As a third of young adults tune into TV to learn something new, research shows that watching shows in a foreign language increases language comprehension, pronunciation, and grammar. Try streaming that new series in a language of interest and be amazed by what you pick up.

5. Get productive

Almost half (47%) like to watch TV to relax, but the ambient noise of it can also increase productivity. So, when you need to focus, put an episode of your favourite show on at a low volume, or listen through your Galaxy Buds, and notice your attention span increase.

When it comes to the shows that young adults are most excited about this summer, the research shows that Stranger Things Season 4 came out on top after part one landed in May, followed by Peaky Blinders Season 6 with over a third (36%) looking forward to the escapism that comes with the new material.

6. Dive deep into character-analysis

We can become consumed by characters in shows, giving us a useful insight into parts of ourselves we rarely explore.

Getting lost in a show provides a break from the stresses of day-to-day life. Why not take it one step further and set up your environment to transport you to wherever you are on screen? Turn off the lights, put on your flat cap and try out your Birmingham accent for Peaky Blinders.
