Khaberni - With the first cold breeze and the beginning of the leaves falling, many find themselves returning to watch their old favorite series. However, this tendency is not a coincidence, but a phenomenon that recurs every autumn according to a report published in the Huffington Post. It points to a collective passion for re-watching works that provide a feeling of warmth and nostalgia.
Experts attribute this behavior to what is known as "nesting instinct," where people tend to spend more time indoors during autumn and winter, engaging in comforting activities such as eating warm food or watching "comfort TV" that restores feelings of security and stability.
Research shows that nostalgia plays a pivotal role in this seasonal habit, as the brain secretes dopamine when recalling beautiful memories, which is the neurotransmitter responsible for improving mood and feeling satisfied.
Thus, re-watching a favorite series from childhood or adolescence can serve as a calming mental exercise, reducing stress and refreshing emotional memory.
Glover believes that there is no need to feel guilty about this behavior, as re-watching old works is not just seasonal laziness, but a natural way of self-care and restoring balance with the changing seasons.
Therefore, instead of considering it an "escape from reality," we should view it as a warm search for comfort in the embrace of memories.
