I have become less alert than I used to.


Question Posted Sunday April 14 2013, 10:18 pm

Hi! I'm a girl, 19 y/o and from Malaysia. I can say that my problem is quite random. Recently i find myself having a short term memory problem. Sometimes whenever I'm doing something, I'm easily tend to forget why I'm doing it. At the end I've wasted so much time on 1 thing. just to let you know I am a medic student and just finished my first observation at hospital. My therapists keep on telling me that i have to be more observant and alert to the things happening at surrounding. Sometimes they have to ask or tell me many times then i will respond to them. To tell you the truth it was like i have been daydreaming all the time eventhough im not. I feel really slow. And last thing, when i try to memorize a simple thing, my head will feel hot as if a computer has been used for a long time and i feel tired afterward. For your information, I believe i have a good night sleep everyday. Can you please tell me why is that happening to me? I get disappointed to myself sometimes because of it.

How many hours of sleep do you get? Most people need at LEAST 8 hours. 9 hours is optimum, but some people need even more.

If you've gotten enough sleep, you ought to wake up fairly easily, and not feel like you wish you could go back to sleep.


If it's not a sleep issue, then that opens it up to a huge variety of possibilities. It could be a nutritional issue. You should make sure you're getting a diet consisting of everything you need, especially iron (NOT iron supplements!), and make sure you're well hydrated.

If it's also not that, then if it's really bothering you, you might want to see a doctor about it.
