So, those brain-sucking diversions--the kind that make hours pass without notice, meals go forgotten...
For some it's computer games. For others it's getting lost in a good novel. Whatever provides an extended escape from reality.
I'll call it playing computer games, such as Spider Solitaire.
Here's the question: do these things release addictive endorphins or something in our brains? It seems like I've heard something like this. Has anyone heard anything about this? Any links? Any knowledge?
(my husband says I could have just researched this by Googling it, but I think these forums are more fun)
Also, I'm not naming names. ;-)
