In today's technological age, the body's natural clocks are being hijacked by timetables, schedules and diaries. By paying more attention to our watches, rather than our internal clocks, could we be losing touch with time as it should be perceived?

You know, I've noticed that whenever I bring this up, people consistently get all serious. That's really weird. It's as if they're either concerned for my mental state (and I'm like, why now, all of a sudden?), or they're afraid, deep down, that I might be onto something after all and need to reassure themselves.
It's a joke, folks. Work with me, already. A JOKE.
