Something that has helped me gain insight into my "cognitive tempo" is to use a metronome and set it to 60 beats per minute. I occasionally check my perception of time using the metronome. If time seems to start moving slower and the metronome seems to be "lagging", then I know to watch out for a potential hypomania or mania developing. It can also be helpful to keep a mood and sleep log. Just a few thoughts.
The metronome idea is fascinating! I have always found them to be relaxing.
