I do that too, DragonB, but it's usually because I'm reading fanfic (mostly Johnlock)
and can't stop.
Both, but I read my fanfics on my mobile so I can read in my bed. I often wake up with the fanfiction still on the screen, because I fell asleep reading

Ah, I've been doing that as well lately, there are some talented fans out there 
. I just finished reading a novel-length Johnlock fan fic, it was quite good.

Not so much Sherlock but Benedict.
I was at a book launch at the local Waterstones last night.
I kept being distracted, cos I spotted Parade's End on a shelf!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
You know you're sherlocked, when you watch a short little humor clip online, and when one of the characters jokingly says 'we're not falling, we're flying!' you cringe in a way the maker probably didn't intend…..

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
You know you're obsessed when...you're so absorbed in the Johnlock fanfiction you're reading that you don't realize, until you look at your clock, that it's past 5am and you never went to bed...and you're not even tired because you're so drawn into the story! 
And like I mentioned before, a.k.a, me right now

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Ok, this one's kinda silly, but.... you know you've been sherlocked when you leave the store and walk out the parking lot to your car. And then suddenly stop short with a 'what the...?' reaction, as there is a foot-long yellow line painted on the ground at the end of your parking space you don't remember seeing before. And instead of ignoring it like a normal person, you amusedly wonder if ninjas have targeted your car, and how you're going to post about it later to share the amusement with the only other people who would 'get' it....

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
That sounds suspicious, Russel. Have you checked your car in every angle? Not that it's been attacked by ninjas... you never know.

You know you are obsessed when you put up your coat collar on the way to work and can't stop grinning. (And it is not even cold enough to be wearing a coat :D)

...when Benedict is mentioned or comes onto a screen, you just start grinning like an idiot.

When you see an ad on tv "Staying alive - 50 years Bee Gees" and all you can think of is Moriarty.

When you've only been watching for a few weeks and am suddenly saying 'obviously' when making a point. I never used to do that!

As long as you don't start spontaneously saying 'idiot' or 'moron'!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
When you are waiting for the train and try to make deductions on everyone you see, notice you are really bad. But still can't stop doingt it! And you end up with a massive headache. ;)
Also the Sherlock score plays in your head the whole time.

... you can't eat an apple before carving an IOU into it. And then of course you think it's too beautiful to eat it.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Does this count?
I can not decide if I should go ahead and buy the Casebook and DVD's or wait until they are all updated with Series 3.
