“Blurs­day includes quan­ti­ta­tive sta­tis­tics such as sleep pat­terns, per­son­al­i­ty traits, psy­cho­log­i­cal well-being and lock­down indices. The data­base pro­vides quan­ti­ta­tive insights on the effects of lock­down (strin­gency and mobil­i­ty) and sub­jec­tive con­fine­ment on time per­cep­tion (dura­tion, passage of time and tem­po­ral dis­tances). ” Con­tin­ue Reading Timing Research Forum
