Deep Space 9 really had the best time travel episodes of any Star Trek. It had the disturbingly close portrayal of the 2020s, Quark's family causing the Roswell Incident, and the senior staff sneaking onto Kirk's Enterprise where they promptly get in a bar fight (and also prevent the Enterprise from exploding). No one was doing it like DS9.

The OBSESSION with identity is so crazy like the view that when you do something it immediately becomes part of your identity and all the parts of you have to click together to become “person who wakes up early” or “person who reads” no you can literally just do something without restructuring your whole performance of personhood around it. I don’t know what to tell you except that you will never be able to have an entirely unfractured view of yourself or that you will be able to rationalize all the complex parts of yourself into the phrase “person who x” like you should just be doing things without performing them. Or aestheticizing them. Just try different things on and keep what works for you. Otherwise you will never learn and grow!

It's a bit of a deep cut for earth culture, but once someone discovers the musical Pajama Game, Starfleet never hears the end of this.
