People who don't have the correct amount of sleep will feel that it affects their memory. To avoid sleep deprivation, you should be getting seven or eight hours' sleep a night. Then you'll find that you're more relaxed and that your brain functions at a higher level. Lack of sleep creates fatigue and fatigue creates stress. Getting the right amount of sleep creates a better mood, a better attitude, and with less fatigue comes more energy. Indeed the more energy you have, the better your memory's going to function.
