Dream - January becomes a new beginning for some people. The first month of each year is the right time to start resolutions. However, many feel that January feels longer than other months. Even though the number of days in January remains the same, which is 31 days.
Why do the days in the first month of this year feel like they are moving very slowly? Apparently, there is a scientific explanation. "There is a possibility that starting work again after the Christmas holidays will cause a lot of boredom (compared to the enjoyment during the Christmas holidays), which in turn creates the impression that time slows down in January," said Zhenguang Cai, an academic in Psychology and Language at University College London (UCL), as quoted from the New Statesman website.
January is usually filled with work agendas, making it feel like it's moving very slowly. The time spent for having fun is the biggest predictor of whether we experience slow or fast time.
The phenomenon is best explained by the dopamine clock hypothesis, when dopamine levels are high, a neurotransmitter in our brain associated with motivation and reward, it speeds up our internal clock, making time feel like it's passing faster. Research on mice indicates that this is mostly true. However, there are complications when different areas of the brain are observed.
According to the report, people tend to feel that time passes very slowly when we think too much about it and do not enjoy the present moment. "The less pleasure we have, the more we complain. That is the ultimate answer for anyone questioning how long January is," the report states.
The lack of sunlight is also a cause of why we all feel like this, according to Professor David Whitmore from UCL. In 1992, Professor Dan Zakay proposed that time feels longer in situations where time is highly relevant and the time interval is uncertain, or when we do not know when something will end, for example when we are stuck in traffic while we need to get to the airport or attend an important event.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "January feels long because we are very aware of the good time as we try to go to the gym more often or because we are at the office every day."
