OP I see some small potential issues with the research method. My phone’s screen starts to black out in 30 seconds. If I wasn’t holding my thumb over my clock, then I could have used to game the system.
51 secs (I double clicked and lost the results)
2 pm, I'm 23, not a student (4 year grad), probably 9-10 hours sleep, and no daily caffiene consumption
60.00s. there's no way that was real. I'm either really lucky or something went wrong. Age 30. not a student. Slept 9 hours, 1 cup of coffee per day.
Very originally survey btw, well done.
[Genuinely wtf](https://postimg.cc/FY0KQm3z)
I did three attempts: 89 sec (I got distracted), 52 sec and 62 sec.
I’m 17, in my last year of high school, I slept about 9 hours last night, but I should be sleeping right now, I’ve never had any coffee or anything else with caffeine in it
34.49s
28
Not since 2016
About 7 hours
Drink 1 cup of earl gray tea/ day. Though I have to say that measuring caffeine in cups isn’t the most accurate. A cup of black tea has around 50mg caffeine vs a cup of coffee which has around 90mg. It’s like trying to measure alcohol consumption by volume of liquid consumed. 6 oz of vodka does not equal 6 oz of beer in terms alcohol content.
Also, I have ADHD and have major time blindness. And doing this test about 6 years ago was actually a big part of leading to my diagnosis. Studying psychology and learning about ADHD, my professor had us do this task, but didn’t tell us not to count in our heads. I did count and came very close to 1 minute. When asked what strategies we used to estimate the time, I said “I counted in my head”, cause how else would I possible be able to estimate that. He just stared at me for a couple seconds and then it dawned on me.
Time was 44-46 sec (forgot the exact number sorry)
Age 24
Not a student
Slept maybe 10ish hours? Have maintenance insomnia so hard to tell
About 4 cups
Your title indicates that your survey is open to everyone, so you are receiving this automated reminder about what that means. Sometimes the questions that you ask can actually restrict the people who can answer your survey. Some common examples of this are questions that ask about state of residence, questions that have gender options being limited to male or female, or questions asking about American political party affiliation; in addition, some surveys are restricted to those who are 18 or older, or have other demographic restrictions.

60.05 seconds, 18, high school grad, 7 hrs, an unhealthy amount of coffee (2 cups a day maybe)
I found it easy to get a minute cause i "feel out" elapsed time weirdly often (i did get lucky tho) but i would be curious to see results of the same experiment for an hour, or a day or week tbh. which would be a bit trickier to arrange i suppose

Anywhere from 6 to 9h(insomnia)
Depends on the week: currently 1.25 but usually around 3-4.
Wow you get a bell curve at 60s. Either people are cheating or they're pretty accurate at predicting the minute.
I got 59.56s - 35 y/o, not student, last night was a bad night I slept 6 or so hours, usually 8, don't know how that helps - barely any coffee, once or twice a week.
Err...
How are you going to connect unique responses on your survey to the reddit replies?
If you found a way to do the survey with the information you are asking in the reddit reply you could do some really fun regression analyses without risking people not filling out the reddit portion of the survey. Those analyses would be more fun if you changed "Are you a student?" to "How many years of education do you have?"
Just some things to think about.
I tried it 4 times. Best score was 59.84! (I cheated that time tho...)
First was 72, second was 55 - these two I was keeping a beat, but not counting.
Third was 76. Complete silence.
Last was 59.84. I kept a beat and counted the beats.
(And by keeping a beat, I mean clicking my tongue at the same rate as a grandfather clock - tick, tock, tick, tock...)
Edit: forgot to answer the rest of the questions:
* Age: 34
* Student: no
* Hours of sleep last night: 7 I think? I woke up a bit groggy tho, so not the best sleep.
* Caffeine intake: none. I occasionally have a 4oz cup of black tea as a treat, but none today.
