Memory loss and emotional suppression
Tom is coming by, that'll be fun. I had a flash of inspiration but getting the browser open took longer than losing the memory.
Oh wait, it came back! It's about memory loss, is why, LOL. Memory is written, I think I understand it, to the hippocampus first. Emotion drives this writing, that's why being dramatic about something makes others remember it better if they give a shit about you. Of course if you're monopolizing them like that they'll stop caring sooner than you like.
But okay, so then when you sleep the hippocampus uploads what's left from the day into the long term cortical memory during the dreaming and deep sleep phases while the brain is also flushing out toxins. This is a period when blood supply to the brain is increased dramatically. I think they said 20% of the body's blood is in your head when you're fast asleep. All that fluid flushing. It's probably why we pee halfway sometimes, from filtering it all out. Drinking water before bed would help with this too.
So memory loss can be caused by lack of emotional involvement in the moment, or by lack of restful sleep over the long term. Marijuana, for instance, is often used to dull emotional responses. The user will usually go past the "dulled to human norms" straight into the 'ain't feelin' nuthin'" phase wherein there are few emotional tags to the moments of the day. Hence, the lack of short term memory! That was the flash. Interfering with emotional connectedness may be the root cause of memory loss in marijuana users and others with emotional disconnections.
the answer is to use the time while dulled to improve one's life (even though your motivation is also dulled) in that it's amenable enough to your sense to make the dulling of them less attractive. Whether you're taking pills from the pharmacy or herbs from the guy across town, te answer is not in resting there, but in using it to strengthen your functioning enough to fix your life!
Some folks are disabled enough they'll always need medicine to help them function, but even they will need less if they can improve their circumstances.
