why does time feel like it goes faster at night?

Forget sleep obviously, lets say your watching something, you look at the clock and its 1am then the next second its 4am

Less stimuli/distraction (outdoors) happening at night that let you slip into an almost meditative state if you’re engaged in no to low activity and ability to immerse more if engaged in high activity. Less outdoor activity doesn’t have you constantly hearing noise that could act as time markers where you may pay attention to the clock. Usually we have schedules during the daytime for most normies that we need to be aware of what time it is but at night time when you have the day off the next day, you may have little care until the sun comes up (which is usually an indicator for me to get some sleep if I’ve stayed up), which having less concern for what time it is will let you slip out of that temporal awareness mode to where time passage feels “vague” and fleeting because you are not focused on it.
