When you’re stressed out or in a panic situation your brain will start to lay down more than one memory track at a time, this will cause time to feel slower when you think back on it. And because the “present” is constantly moving moment in time thinking back only 10 seconds can feel like 30 seconds, making time feel like it’s crawling along.
If you spend 8 hours at work stressed out, at the end of the day it can feel like you’ve spent 16-20 hours there.
On the plus side, it feels like I sleep forever when I’m dreading the next day. I’ll wake up worried my alarm is about to go off and realize I still have 3 more hours.
