As a child I grew up on a 12 hour clock.

18-20 I had to learn 24 hour clock and use it all the time (heh).

Now as an adult I try to stay 24h but I still mentally swap 24h to 12h in my head.

So I look at the clock see 13:00 and think ok it's 1:00pm.

So far, so good.... When on a treadmill/bike watching the timer go up, I sometimes have mild confusion.

I'm doing 15:00 on this machine, ok the timer says 13:00... I have 4 minutes left. I realize my quick math and time recognition frameworks are colliding. The 13:00 gets quick swapped to a 1, and I then I do 5-1.. I've noticed this on multiple days, even though I know it's wrong.

Not sure of the right term for this, anyone else have this kind of coding confusion?

My watch has been in 24h time since I had to log in/out on paper in 24h time. My computer is on 24h time too. I also do the conversion in my head, but in the evening I'll sometimes get confused.

If I have a timer set on a clock I often look at for time, if the time is "close" that will confuse me, but that has nothing to do with dyslexia, For me that would be more of reading 13:00 left as 90s, and getting confused when its not going off after 2 min.
