SummaryMichel Siffre conducted groundbreaking experiments living in caves isolated from time cues starting in 1962, discovering that humans have an internal biological clock independent of the 24-hour day-night cycle. His research revealed that without external time references, people often developed longer sleep-wake cycles of up to 48 hours, and that subjective time perception becomes distorted—experiencing two months as only one—fundamentally advancing our understanding of human chronobiology.Oct 21, 202413 tweets♥ 41.3K
