Every night when I sleep. It doesn't feel like 8 hours, but according to my alarm clock it is.

exactly,

We all change our perception almost constantly.

Posting on forums is like drinking. After two hours you lose track of time.

i slept for what felt like 6 days ( my dream took over the course of a week. i participated in everything and at one time, counted seconds when i was "bored") and woke up thinking a week went past but it was only 14 hours.

Sleeping -3hrs/+15hrs

Doing boring/interesting things.

I once had this month long dream. When I woke up, I was like...oh fuck. What did I miss? lol.

Apart from sleeping/being in an alcohol-induced coma, I've distorted my time perception in everyday life too. In fights (sparring or otherwise...) and in exams.

Once I experienced a sort of slow motion perception of time. I was little and I remember vividly falling off the monkey bars. As I fell it seemed slow and lengthened. Sounds and screams seemed the same as well. When I'm testing or have to do something quickly time "slips through my hands" (as for most others).

when i was younger i had the abbilety (more liek random events) that clocks (not digital) the second shower thingy (the thing that ticks everyu second) sometimes goes up to three times as fast, or three times as slow, but usually that lasts only a few moments, but i dont get that much more... because i use digital clocks nowadays to avoid those weird things... i do not like it

I practice martial arts as well as MartialArtist, and I have noticed the same thing. It happens to me sometimes when I really need to move, and sometimes it will just drop down into a slower kind of time. But I am so focused on doing whatever i'm doing (dodging, usually) that I don't focus on how it feels.

If you enter a state of trance, your perception of time will slow down.

This once happened on a philosophy class I had, I was nearly falling asleep, but with eyes open, and looking at my clock. I could see the seconds go slower than usual. Sound also seemed kinda distant.
