effect of caffeine and valarian on perception of time

Recommended Posts

Did a weird experiment yesterday and today - yesterday I overdosed on coffee to see how my perception of time was effected and then measured that against my perception of time after drinking valarian tea only today.

the difference was interesting. Time seems much slower when relaxed :)

Interesting I remember reading something about psychosis caused by extremely high doses of caffeine. Although I'm not sure if this is a common effect or not.

From Wikipedia:

At high doses, typically greater than 300 mg, caffeine can both cause and worsen anxiety or, rarely, trigger mania or psychosis.

Interesting experiment.

How much coffee do you need to "overdose"?

I agree coffee can speed up time; paradoxically it can also make that time more productive.

when i drink ALOT of caffeine on night shift, time goes WAAAAAY faster.

not only get alot of shit done, it feels less than 1/2 the time has passed.

i only do that once a blue moon tho, when im extremely tired and irritated, not good for you.
