Can knowledge of time affect it's passing?
For example, if you go to bed and see the time, would it be any different to if you slept *without* looking at the time? Can time be affected by knowledge of itself?

It can effect one's perception of its passing, and even in a real sense, slow or speed our internal "clock." In that way it can be subjective. But it's also constant somewhat. "Somewhat" because it is effected by mass and speed, but still measurably effected by these things. So, knowledge effects perception, the reality of time is unaffected by our perception, or even measurement of it... Or some such nonsense. Side: Yes, it can

Time itself is not affected by your knowledge of its passing, though your perception of time may change. This is, of course, purely internal, for nothing in the universe is changed to cause time to speed up by a personal revelation regarding the time of day. Side: No, it cannot
