We've all felt it before: for whatever reason, the trip coming home seemed a lot quicker than the trip going there. This isn't just you losing your already tenuous grip on reality; on the contrary, several studies have confirmed the existence of what researchers call the 'return trip effect.'
Exactly why this effect occurs is a source of ongoing inquiry. One potential explanation is: it's not that we're bad at judging how long a trip is aking, it's that we're bad at remembering how long it took.
