This is precisely why it is such excellent brain therapy.
So should we use a phillips or flat screw driver?
I have a set of Chevy truck clutch head screw drivers, I bet I could become a gnenius if I learn how to brush with those.

My what a long, strange trip it continues to be.

This brain excerise stuff is working wonders already.

I can't remember.
As usual it will come to me 15 minutes after I walk away from this computer.

I can relate. I forget everything, drives my hubby crazy! I tend to wonder around my house in a confused daze.

For me, about a month or two into this therapy, a lot of my memory functions came back. Except for rote memory, which was never much there since a major health event at 13.
I prefer one of the interchangeable screwdrivers where you flip the bit in and out. But nail guns get my vote any day! Raurrrrr! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap!

....you may,
in reality, not be a candidate for this type of PT.
You really have a grasp of this concept and
your initiative is providing a stellar example for all of us to follow.

I suspect that the forgetfulness is the real reason why I lost my job last June.

I have, however, used a toothbrush when I had a screw loose.
Did you mean loose screw? Or what you said, meaning a problem in the head?

Sleep loss is a terrible thing. People get grumpy, short-tempered, etc. That happens here even among the generally friendly. Try not to take it personally.

I am about as new as you can get. 3rd night tonight. I had no idea my forgetfulness was due to my sleeping problem. I had a sleep study because I started snoring and it was bothering my husband. I was surprised how badly I was sleeping. I just thought my inability to remember this was getting older related.

Yes.
I have experienced both.
Let the reader use discernment.
Kinda like how my mechanic says the biggest problem with my car is that there seems to be a loose nut behind the wheel. He didn't say whether it was a back wheel or a front wheel. But I think it's whichever wheel steers the car.

I take Aricept, too.
Does the Aricept help with the memory loss? I had to look it up, and see that it is a treatment for Alzheimers - is it also used for sleep / oxygen deprivation memory loss?
