Memory problems?

Asked by lilaznstar235 (53points) November 3rd, 2008 from iPhone

ive been having trouble lately memorizing stuff for my tests. Its not only memorizing but also understanding. Something that usually takes me 1hr. To study now takes 4. And after reading the sentence I find that I have no idea eat I just read.
Is there anything I can do or eat that will help me out?

Having had a look at your recent questions, I wonder whether you have some major problems or distractions in your life. This latest problem does not sound as though it is occuring in a vacuum.

Have you thought of talking things out with someone trained? Good luck.

Telling me I have a major problem doesnt help

I wasn’t telling but asking. And I did make a suggestion, which you may choose to ignore.

There is no magic pill or food that will solve your difficulties.

She wondered if you did, your questions here support the concern.

This does not sound normal. Have you considered going to the doctor? You may need to have this checked out.

I dont need professional help. I think I’m just not eating enough or something and I just need suggestions. I didnt think this would be such a difficult question. And wats up with ppl checking out my past questions? Does it really matter?

You know what I’m going to say—you’re operating on overload. Burn out. Take a break from it, give your brain a vacation. Does this sound familiar?

“The findings strongly suggest that: (a) students of different education levels (from school to university) are chronically sleep deprived or suffer from poor sleep quality and consequent daytime sleepiness; (b) sleep quality and quantity are closely related to student learning capacity and academic performance; (c) sleep loss is frequently associated with poor declarative and procedural learning in students; (d) studies in which sleep was actively restricted or optimized showed, respectively, a worsening and an improvement in neurocognitive and academic performance. ”

To put it bluntly, you’re shooting yourself in the foot by continuing on the path you’re on.
