How did she do it?
Movsesian gave us the five biggest tips to get your binge done the right way.

“Comfort is a big deal.
I think that its important to have a throw near you.
If youre a true binger, youre going from the daytime to nighttime without moving off the couch.
Its good for temperature control.
You know what I mean?
Like, do you want to just wear a T-shirt?

I tend to layer and have whatever I need around me.
Socks, no socks?

I think that everybody just needs to find their comfort level.”
When in doubt, rally!
“I most recently binged the second season ofSex Education.
At night, when I would get really tired, I just rallied.
Its important to get caffeine in you or sugar of some kind.”
