Time is a strange thing; when we are waiting for it to pass, it can seem so slow, yet on the other hand, we can get lost in time and it all just seems to have rapidly evaporated. Also, how we see time in our outer world is different to how we see things in our inner world. Clocks are devices created by us humans to measure time. We all need this measurement to help us live our lives and coordinate our activities according to clock time. Without clocks, our lives would be very confusing, and we would never get much done as we would be waiting around to try and sync up with other people or events. Your inner brain does not perceive the passing of time with the same units of minutes and hours as on your watch. Throughout evolution, living organisms, including humans, have developed multiple biological clocks to help us keep track of time. Some of our timekeepers are set by external processes, like the rise and fall of daylight, this helps us adapt to the rhythms of our day.
