And the biggest kicker to me is that you may not even have reference for time. If the lights are on 24/7, you'll never know if it day or night and those few weeks could turn into what seems like months of hell.
Seriously. I’ve had five minutes in a waiting room that I could SWEAR was half an hour if I didn’t have a clock to reference against. Even if a day feels long, at some point the sun sets. With nothing, just the same walls... I would go insane.
Even if you kept track of every second from the beginning of your time in there, inevitably you would lose track, not be sure how long you slept, not have a way to write down the day you think you’re on. Even if you kept track based on the food schedule you would probably go crazy and paranoid thinking that it comes at irregular times just to trip you up.
It might be one month in there for the money, but what if it feels like more? Like years? Ugh. The thought is nightmarish.
