lol I would think the walls were trying to eat me.

But seriously, I would bet even money I could spend an even hour in there, and be ok when the timer went off. NOTHING better than spending time alone with my own thoughts. I HATE noise.

Disclaimer: After I KNEW my hour was up, and no one had come to open the door, eventually a decision would be made that it was time to leave. At that point, I have NO DOUBT I would kill myself tearing the walls down.
