When your asleep does time seem to speed up for you?

Question

when your asleep does time seem to speed up for you. Is it just me or when you wake up doesnt it feel like your just went to bed and hour ago or 30 min. And if it does can you give me any information why its just a question? Thanx

Answer 1

It seems like that to me, because maybe we only remember the falling asleep and waking up part.

Answer 2

Our brains process information faster than we realize, sight is percieved at the speed of light, so is pain or the anticipation of it.

So it's no wonder that when we are asleep and in the regeneration mode that our mental processes operate at peak performace. Any dreams you have will play out in a short period of time, even though you may have just nodded off and you've had a dream that seemed to last a few days.

When we're really tired and don't have any or very little dream activity is when you feel as if time has just leapt forward, you feel confused because you didn't have a normal nights sleep.

Answer 3

Time while asleep does indeed seem to fly.  But since you're unconscious you really have no perception of the passing of time.  That's why we have clocks.

Answer 4

yes it does. but it slowed down again for the person who's awake.

Answer 5

I treasure GOOD sleep...DEEP sleep...NIGHTMARE FREE sleep! So it's always a disappointment to me if I'm   not having a nightmare and I wake up...or if I'm having a good dream & wake up. But if I'm having a nightmare...I can't wake up soon enough. When you don't get to that deep level of sleep...that's when you know how loooonnnngggg the night really is!! I guess it's the same when you have an operation & they put you to sleep. So..I wonder if it's the same for when you're in a coma. That must be awful to wake up and realize you've missed years of your life & that some people you loved have died.  Thankfully, while we're asleep...most of the people we know are too..so we don't miss out on too much .

Answer 6
