In addition, this analysis provides alternative explanations of certain unexpected findings reported by Di Rienzo et al. (2014) pertaining to apnea and interval timing. The perspective and guidance that this commentary provides on the relationship between apnea and time estimation is especially relevant considering the scarcity of experimental and clinical studies examining these variables. © 2015 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessapneaattentiondual taskheart rateinternal clockTime estimationArticle33-4307316
