Neurons need stimulation otherwise they die. If we are not learning they seek stimulation in drama, domestic excitement or even just watching movies. So drama addiction takes the place of learning- but that kind of stimulation does not GROW new connections, it simply pleasurably blasts a few old ones. And doesn't time whizz by watching movies every night?

If you want to slow time down start learning a foreign language or something else useful you find difficult.
