Time Perception Insights

Time perception is deeply influenced by entrainment, where internal biological processes align with external environmental cues, like light. Melatonin plays a crucial role, as its levels fluctuate with day length, affecting energy and mood throughout the seasons. As days lengthen in spring, melatonin decreases, often leading to increased energy, while shorter winter days result in higher melatonin levels, contributing to lower energy and mood for many.
