A member asked:
Is it normal to have short term memory loss if you're not getting enough sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sleep deprivation and/or poor sleep have very negative affects on the body. Being dehydrated and having a poor diet can also contribute. So yes your memory can definitely be affected by chronic sleep deprivation.
