I got a new analog clock for my kitchen since the old one I had for decades finally gave out. I grew up with these things, it wasn’t until I was a bit older that digital came to dominate clockspace. Anyway I have a thing where like I’ll look at the time on my phone, and then forget what time it is five mins later. Unlike if I look at a clock face I end up remembering and keeping track of the time.
It can be annoying but it’s also comforting in a way. It gives you a sense that things are normal, time is still passing same as always, and you’re not frozen in time.
Unless you’re having a hard time sleeping, then it really doesn’t help.
