The Perception of Time as We Age

When we were kids, summer vacations felt endless. But as we grow older, years seem to fly

by... why is that? Time itself never changes — our brains do.

As children, everything is new, so our brains create more memories. That makes time

feel slower. As adults, life becomes routine, fewer new memories form,

and our brain processes time faster. So, time isn’t speeding up — we are.
