Boredom makes time feel like it passes slower.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that boredom makes time feel like it passes slower?

Unclear. The evidence only partially supports the claim: a reference work notes the common perception that time passes slowly when bored, and a French longitudinal study links persistent boredom to the feeling that time passed slowly during lockdown. Neither directly tests boredom's effect on time perception in a general population.
