The older you get the faster time appears to pass, however its an individual thing. The young are experiening time as you did as a youngster. Or so it seems. In reality, no one experiences 'real time' ... whatever that actually is, they experience their indiviudlized 'mind-time'.

What is actually happening is that the quantity of things that happen in a given 24 hour long day is compressing. So what he is saying is that the same number of happenings that used to take 24 hours now takes only 16. So we are fitting 1.33 days into a normal day as a rough estimate.
For some people this changed every day due to thier professions before it started compressing. For those people it is not that hard to deal with. However, for the people who had a set threshold for the quantity of stuff they could deal with in a given day it is a real bitch. Because of the elevated stress levels the time seems to go by much faster than normal. Time flies when you are busy.
