Essentials: Time Perception, Memory & Focus

In this episode of Huberman Lab Essentials, Andrew Huberman discusses the science of time perception, focusing on how our internal biological clocks and neurochemical states influence our experience of time. He explains entrainment through circannual, circadian, and ultradian rhythms, emphasizing the importance of light exposure and regular routines for maintaining accurate time perception and overall health. Huberman delves into how dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin affect our perception of time, impacting how we experience events in the present and remember them in the past. He also touches on the phenomenon of "overclocking" during trauma and provides actionable tools, such as establishing consistent habits, to structure our days and manage our perception of time effectively.
