Lack of sleep

Getting enough sleep is good for your memory. Forgetfulness caused by sleep deprivation can cause you to miss important moments.

A small study published in the journal Sleep found that men who slept only four hours were more likely to experience memory damage when under pressure than those who slept eight hours a night.

Anxiety

If you are constantly worried about trivial things, your memory will be hindered.

Sometimes, this is the reason why you can’t remember what your co-workers said. At that time, you were probably thinking about other things.

Experts advise that if you have severe anxiety symptoms, you should see a therapist.

Information overload

The constant barrage of information on social media can distract you, making it difficult to concentrate and consolidate new memories. The brain can only process so much stimulation. And information overload slows it down.

If you want to increase your memory capacity, you shouldn't force your brain to focus on more than three things at a time, nor should you expect to remember all the details.
