Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, and it's bright outside, time feels slow because you're having so much fun. But when the lights go out, and everything gets quiet, time seems to zip by. This is how time perception at night works, our brains use light and sound to decide whether time is fast or slow.
Examples
- Playing with toys during the day feels slow because you're focused on every detail.
- Reading in bed at night feels quick because there are fewer things to notice.
- Time seems to fly when watching a movie without lights, but drags when reading by daylight.
