The Reason We Feel Time Stops on Tuesdays

Tuesdays often seem to drag on endlessly during the workweek, leaving many of us wondering why the week isn’t moving along faster. This feeling isn’t just in our heads; psychological reasons make Tuesdays feel particularly tough.

Mondays, typically the most dreadful day, set the stage for this temporal confusion. “When we’re doing lots of things when we’re processing lots of information, we feel like more time has passed than normal,” Ogden said to Heaney.

Emotions also play a significant role. Ogden points out that intense emotional states, or arousal, can warp our perception of time. Stressful Mondays can feel never-ending, which can make the transition to Tuesday, when there’s still a lot of the workweek left, particularly distressing.

This issue worsens with age. “One of the things that elderly people say is that time passes more quickly as we get older,” Ogden said in an interview.
