The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland present in the front of the neck. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. Hypothyroidism is the condition when thyroid gland stops releasing the required amount of thyroid hormone in the body.
People with undiagnosed or untreated hypothyroidism may face memory problems and difficulty concentrating.
Lack of adequate and restful sleep could easily lead to mood swings and anxiety, which in turn contribute to poor memory. Sleep-deprived people are more likely to develop high blood pressure and diabetes, thus they may have constricted (narrowed) blood vessels. These narrowed blood vessels decrease proper blood flow to the brain. This limitation of blood flow could affect the ability of the brain to work properly. A study conducted on mice claimed that sleep deprivation leads to more deposition of beta-amyloid (a protein) in the brain. The increased beta-amyloid deposits in the brain lead to a decrease in memory and thinking power.
