Plus: Philip Gable, PhD, Associate Professor at University of Delaware, describes how science is trying to capture how people's altered time perceptions with a national survey.
@BrianLehrer I've worked remotely off & on for 20 yrs. Was fine & busy for 1st month but now one day blends into the next. My energy level has dropped. I sleep more, feel disconnected from job/co-workers. It feels like one endless long boring weekend

TIME WARPED oddest Brian, is how the days can feel so much like xeroxes, yet my sleep is so variable. 1 day up 4:30 (yes), next day 6:00, then 4 days @ dawn. Identical activity, eating time, etc. Huh? Cognitive & Phys Psych class did not prep brain for this. @BrianLehrer
