Does time run slower for people who perceive more information at any given time than the average person?

yes, time for ants for example goes very fast because they cannot see and process any information at all.

The reverse

The level of activity in the brain of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine may be the reason for this.[100] Such chemicals will either excite or inhibit the firing of neurons in the brain, with a greater firing rate allowing the brain to register the occurrence of more events within a given interval (speed up time) and a decreased firing rate reducing the brain's capacity to distinguish events occurring within a given interval (slow down time).

The opposite is anecdotally true though.
I think faster/notice more things than all my friends. Time flies by for me often because I'm busy processing too much information to notice other shit happening. It's why I wear a watch.

Strange logic. Yes, faster processing *allows* registering of more events but that does not mean there are more events available for registering.

Nor does it follow that time is perceived to speed up.

>tfw every time I wake up after taking more trazadone than usual (sometimes I take it again in the middle of the night if I wake up and can't fall asleep) the music I listen to in the morning is noticeably sped up

Kinda makes me wonder if everyone hears music at the same tempo.
