TV Reruns RechargeYour Brain

There’s a reason why you never gettired of watching reruns of your favoriteTV shows over and over again: It’srelaxing, and researchers say itrejuvenates your mental focus. Theycall it “reconsumption.” Because youknow what’s going to happen and arefamiliar with the characters, your braindoesn’t have to exert any effort in theinteraction like it does when viewingan episode you’ve never seen. You cansimply enjoy yourself whenreconsuming, which restores yourmental energy.
