Of course, but I was referring to the events unity described which may have also caused the clocks in his house to malfunction. We experience altered perception of time constantly, whether we're enjoying what we're doing or dreading it. But these are all within your own consciousness.
If these outside phenomena can cause an increased distortion in the perception of time, it might explain why the OP feels he lost a significant amount of time, experiencing events that should have taken 4 minutes as taking closer to upwards of 30 minutes. This is not necessarily a normal distortion of time perception, as far as I'm aware, regarding the circumstances.
Unity's point that brain activity is electromagnetic is useful in determining if outside sources could unknowingly effect time perception.
