Yet another entry on the list of totally unlikely things of which I am completely convinced.

Did you know that time moves faster when your eyes are closed?

It’s true. And it’s not just the fact that you can’t see a clock or watch a TV show or visually monitor anything showing the passing of time. When your eyes are closed, time actually picks up speed.

It doesn’t matter if you are sleeping or blinking or sneezing or meditating or praying or playing peek-a-boo.

I know it sounds whack, but this is something that I can actually prove.

Think back with me, for a moment, to that wonderful childhood game, Hide and Seek. When you were the seeker, and you were counting to a hundred, did it ever actually take you to that full one hundred? Of course not! Because time sped up. It was such a cosmic phenomenon that it even had the ability to effect you.

Remember? You would be counting – “1, 2, 3…” – and then all of the sudden, it was like, “4 5 6 789, 21, 35, 60, 99… Ready or not. Here I come!”

You see there?
