Why is it that some days seem to go by faster than others?

Yesterday seemed to go by really fast but today it seems like the day is going so slow.

It's not even 6:00 PM yet and it seems like it should already be 12:00 AM?

My clock seems to be dragging on really slowly with the second hand just slowly making it's away around the clock each time.

Yesterday it seemed like the second hand was going by much faster? lol

It's just our perception of time. Some people feel time moving at different speeds on different days than others.

I felt the same way yesterday myself. Yesterday seem to drag on forever. For example. I took a nap around 2:00 PM and woke up and it was only 3:00 PM when I thought for sure it was already 8:00 PM or later.

Then I woke up again this morning again at 3:00 AM thinking it was 7:00 AM.

Other days the time flies by but for some reason yesterday was just a day that seemed to drag on forever.
