Sleep deprivation can lead to memory problems and blackouts. Stress will also cause the same. So if you're stressed as well as not sleeping, then the memory problem will persist.
Please practise relaxation exercises and start short term medicine for sleep if your not able to sleep .

Hello practo user
I can understand the difficult situation that you are currently facing in your life. Sleep deprivation can cause many issues which can include memory issues , difficulty in finding words and other related issues . Try and practice these tips for better sleep hygiene- try and follow a fixed sleeping patter of waking up and falling asleep , practice deep breathing and meditation, try and have relaxing conversation with close family members and friends at night , limit your screen time , avoid heavy meals or caffeine . It is advisable that you seek help from a clinical psychologist for better understanding of your case and formulation of a treatment plan through regular psychotherapy sessions . You can also reach out to me through the practo app for any further help or guidance.
