Sometimes days feel longer or shorter, and it’s all about how our brain works. Imagine you’re playing with your favorite toy, the time passes quickly because you're having fun. But when you have to sit in a long boring class, that same hour feels much longer. Your brain is like a clock, but it changes its speed depending on what you're doing.
Examples
- When you're playing a game, time feels like it's flying by. Fun makes days go faster.
- During a long boring class, time stretches out, that same hour feels much longer.
- After a nap, the day seems to pass in just a few minutes, even though it was actually hours.
