Because quite often their minds are too subsconciencous of other things. and need to rest or relax before taking on other chores for the day. And often did not attain enough rest the night before, becoming clummsy in thoughts, especially if over 45 years of age. as regards names reminding , the rule is if you are not affliliated with a person weekly, its ok to forget names of people whom you donot interact with often or daily.

Even though we have many brain cells there is a capacity of how much you can remember. Although, things you probably think you forgot, you still know, it's just in the back of your head. But if it is in the case of remembering people, your brain can only remember the name and face (of course, being able to match these two together) of 400 people.

When You Are Not Home, Turn Things Off?

The biggest thing that you can do to reduce your electric and gas bill is to turn everything off when you leave. The trick is to remember everything. Two things that are commonly left on are the basement lights and the heat. It is easy to forget the lights because you may not see them. It is easy to forget the heat because you just get so used to it that you forget it is on. If you check both of these things before you head out of the house, you can keep them from running for hours while they are unneeded.

How long do I remember things?

The mind is a very complex device that uses electricity and fluids to maintain your memories. Almost like the computer you are using uses two different types of electricity. Just compare it to a computer, the computer remembers everything you save on it, much like your own memory, until you delete it. Basically, you will remember everything until you forget it!
