I just slept for 14 hours straight. I haven't done that in years. I had been getting by on about 4 or5 hours a night for the last couple of weeks, but 14 is a bit ridiculous wouldn't you say?

There are a few factors that can contribute to the perception of time moving faster. One is our brain's ability to adapt to routine and familiar activities, which can make time seem to pass more quickly. Another factor is our level of engagement in an activity - time tends to feel slower when we are bored or less engaged. Additionally, as we age, our internal clock may speed up, making time seem to pass faster.
While we cannot physically slow down time, there are ways to make it feel like it is passing slower. Engaging in new and challenging activities, focusing on the present moment, and taking breaks from routine can all help slow down our perception of time.
When we are engaged in enjoyable activities, our brain is more focused and less distracted. This can lead to a more immersive experience, making time seem to fly by. Additionally, the release of dopamine during pleasurable activities can alter our perception of time.
To make the most of our time, it is important to prioritize and focus on what is most important to us. Setting goals and breaking tasks into smaller, manageable chunks can also help us use our time more efficiently. It may also be helpful to eliminate or delegate tasks that are not essential or do not bring us joy.
Yes, our perception of time can change based on a variety of factors, including our emotional state, level of engagement, and external stimuli. It is also possible to train our brains to perceive time differently through practices such as mindfulness and meditation.
