Why the Years Go By Faster As You Age | Neuroscience for Sleep

Have you ever wondered why a summer felt endless when you were a child, yet the years now slip by in a blur? In this calm, narrated neuroscience journey, we explore why time seems to speed up as we age: how the brain builds memories, why new experiences stretch our sense of time, and how routine quietly compresses the years. You'll also hear what research suggests about attention, novelty and the way we measure a lifetime, and how to make your days feel fuller again. Settle in, dim the lights, and let your mind drift. This video is made to be listened to as you fall asleep, with a gentle voice, slow pacing and no music or interruptions. 🌙 New neuroscience-for-sleep videos on this channel.
