Whenever I experience anything I almost instantly forget it. An example would be I'd be reading a book and then sometime later I can't remember the title of the first chapter or what it was about. I can remember a general idea of what it was about but nothing specific or particular. Am I the only one?

>>1065 You are me lainon I can't even remember what I was dreaming about last night.

>>1065 You are out of shape. Just like someone who sits on the couch all day has so stamina. You need to be practicing with your memory in order to keep it sharp and improve it. Just like any other skill in life, if you doesn't practice you'll be garbage at it.

the memories are probably still there you're just not forming meaningful connections to it.

Are you getting enough sleep, or is your sleep interrupted? Sleep is when your brain sorts your memories into long and short-term memory. Mess up your sleep and you mess up your memory.

>>1067 Do you have any exercises and things I could do to improve it? >>1082 I have an irregular sleep schedule. You might be onto something

>>1065 Im exactly the same way. One thing I have found, however, is that I'm really good at remembering technical stuff. When I took integral calculus I did almost no studying outside of homework. Of course that's most likely because I think about what the concepts really mean but I could be wrong. Also I'm basically a walking fun fact. I remember the most useless stuff all the time.

That sounds just normal. If you read a book, your intention is usually not to recite it later word by word in correct order, so why should you care about that?

>>1065 You are completely fine. If anything you should get enough sleep and exercise and eat a healthy diet, avoid caffeine. Something like that. >>1067 Anon most people read a whole book and can't recite a single sentence verbatim from it. This is normal.

Same boat, i have no memory no energy and no motivation. My life is a huge void of media and drug consumption. Most of the time i dont even know what im doing.

This happens to me often. I used to think I was not retaining experiences but its quite the opposite. You are retaining them subconsiously and something can and will trigger what you have experienced eventually to make you recall it. Just think about it as storing information for later.

>>1065 that stuff isn't important so brain doesn't allocate space to it. I used to read fiction a lot, but I wouldn't know what chapter or page I'm on, because it's unimportant. >>1066 dreams are rarely remembered, look it up. most people have 6 to 7 a night, but don't remember most or all of them.

>>1084 brain age 2 for the Nintendo ds, big brain academy too prior to using it when performing simple arithmetic i would need to concentrate on it but now i can perform it without much effort

>>1065 joe biden how did you find lainchan?

>>1084 >>4049 Only program that has studies backing it is BrainHQ. It allows you one random selected game per day free and to have full access you either need to pay for a subscription or access it via your local library.

fuarrrking spiders always bite me in the middle of the night interrupting my sleep, I'm able however of remembering my dreams it is only that they are cutted off

>>1084 imo there are no real clean cut exercises, it depends highly on the thing ur trying to achieve, for example when i'm reading fiction i mostly think about the moral lessons and how those apply to my (dream) life or why i don't think they apply, of course an exercise for that would be to write essays to interpret the contents. when i read non fiction i usually have to apply what i learned in order for it to rly stick, even if it's just a man page i'll try some options so i'll see how the output looks or if i can't apply it immediately i'll conciously think abt what could be doen with an option so atleast i might remember it or atleast the basic command when i get to a problem where that could be used it's all abt building the synapses and create new pathways, doing something and doing it often strengthens those and they become default routes when thinking and remembering, both in a general problem solving attitude (even interpretation is problem solving) and specific learning of tools
