This would explain why I repeat myself so much…
Anterograde amnesia is a form of amnesia, or memory loss, in which new events are not transferred to long-term memory. The disorder makes its sufferers unable to recall an event which occurred only moments earlier when their attention has shifted to something else.
“Traveler’s amnesia” is a temporary form of anterograde amnesia in which victims may, for instance, realise they have changed planes during a memory gap or discover that they rented a car. This condition is caused by some medications, notably imidazopyridines and benzodiazepines, especially when they are used as sleep aids.
Amnesia automatism is usually induced by prescription drugs, often in association with moderate alcohol intake. Victims have memory gaps for a period shortly after taking the drug concerned, which causes embarrassment and fear for what might have happened. Disinhibited and uncharacteristic behaviour (sometimes together with carrying out quite complex tasks - e.g. cooking and serving a nice meal, but in the nude) is sometimes witnessed during such episodes, which adds further embarrassment and distress. Automatisms involve doing something “automatically” and not remembering afterwards how one did it or even that one did it.
Why are tons of words spelled wrong on Wikipedia? I guess it’s because so many random people contribute to it (I think).
Amy has to wake me up every morning saying good morning. Why can’t she say good morning at 10am-12pm. That’s more like my morning time. Why don’t I ever just turn my phone on silent.
