Over the past few years when I randomly choose to look at a clock I typically see particular patterns of times. The main pattern is repeating digits (e.g., 04:04; 16:16). This occurs on multiple clock-based devices.

What can explain the tendency to frequently see particular patterns of time when checking the time?

i didn't find better place to ask this question , i think its a psychological thing . over the past 3 or 4 years , every time i look at the clock in 99.9% of a time its round . of course if i try to look at the clock on purpose its not working and the interesting part for me is it doesn't matter which clock .

my watch , my phone , computer clock , other peoples clock ... every clock around me .

my clocks is like this:

  16:16 22:00 17:00 17:17 19:19 08:08 23:23 23:32 19:00

when i start writing this the clock was 04:04 ...

im going to lose my mind ! what the hell is wrong with me !!!!!
