Hi,

From the available description, it appears that you are suffering from both attention problem as well as a sleep problem. It is usual to have attention problem if you are not able to sleep adequately. You can take zolpidem or zopiclone for sleep problem which will induce sleep for you. If you continue to have these memory symptoms following correction of sleep problem see a psychiatrist who will guide you for the diagnosis as well as treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
