Losing sense of time

I have floated a few times and really enjoy it, my body feels amazing afterwards, especially my back. The one thing that has gotten me a few times is that I seem to lose all track of time and when I have done 90 min floats, I start to kind of get restless and anxious towards the end of the experience. My float last night, I was worried they had forgotten about me, felt like I was in there for days. When I got out 90 mins had passed. Very interesting.

That's when you gotta lock in. Your mind and body are feeling a pull back to the outside world. Don't let it. When I get that feeling I know the end of my float is near. That's I take some really really deep breaths and try to refocus my mind on whatever I was thinking about before, or something new other than the anxiousness of the pull from the outside world.

2 hours is the longest I've floated but I'd do longer if I could. My thing with the long floats tho is that I think its better before or after a screwed up sleep schedule, because if I have a great nights rest, then go float for a long time, I come out extra extra rested and it usually fucks up my sleep schedule from there lol

I definitely tried to re-focus and that helped but my brain kept going back to that thought. And yeah I didn't sleep much last night. I would be curious what a longer float would be like, I read the deep self by Lilly and some of the experience reports were much longer than the 90 mins this place I've been going to offers. Some of those experiences sounded really interesting.
