Polyphasic Sleep: Day 23*

Time dilation. Man, this is a weird side effect.

This is no ordinary "man, it felt like forever!"

This is watching the entire world drop into slow motion. Literally on the verge of shouting in impatience as people shamble around you. Long agonizing milliseconds as people formulate responses to you.

What's scary, is that this also works when there's music. Normally music will give you some standard for how fast time is going. Not with polynapping time dilation. A song will come on, and you'll be doing stuff, half an hour's worth of stuff it seems, when suddenly you realize the song is still playing. It has been less than 4 minutes.

I don't want to say this is what being Sarah Goldfarb feels like, because she did not have a superpower but instead a crippling addiction.

This, now. This feels like a superpower. I can now do something for an hour, discover it's only been 10 minutes, and do a few hours more stuff. I have almost literally all the time I need. This is exactly like being five years old again, wondering how on earth you could ever do something for as long as an hour. Remember how long five minutes were? Douglas Spaulding has nothing on the relativistic effect of being five years old.

Now I finally see why five year olds are unemployed. It does somewhat suck working 168 hours a day, then spending approximately 2 months on the way home.
