Isn't there a simpler way? Just calculate the waiting time during the return period as a proportion of total waiting time across the whole experimental period, and the same for the non-return time, then compare the two with some statistical analysis. If the effect is as strong as it seems in the videos then you could probably use non-parametric methods with less assumptions about the distrubution of the data.
