I'm surprised no one's mentioned James Blish's short story
'Common Time' yet. It opens with the protagonist becoming aware that
he is experiencing life something like 6,000 times faster than normal.
This is a particular inconvenience because while his mind is running
really quite fast, his body is moving at normal rates. He works out
that even if he wanted to write something down, he couldn't move his
pencil fast enough to hold his thought through the whole process of
writing.

The story reminds me of a sleepless night in bed with thoughts racing
through my mind until the wee hours of the morning. Followed by the
sound of a riveting gun in my head as the alarm goes off.
