Brits forget an average of 1,095 things per year
A new study has revealed that absent-minded people from the UK forget 1,095 things a year with the most common thing to slip the mind being birthdays or where the car has been parked.
Brits are also prone to forgetting why they have entered a room, what they are about to say and the names of other people.
Some have blamed the lack of brain stimulation during the coronavirus lockdowns for bouts of amnesia while others suggest that their forgetfulness can be blamed on stress.
Neuroscientist Professor Hana Burianova, from Bournemouth University, said: "Our brains overload when we have lots of different things going on and this impacts our attention and memory.
"The brain is complex and intricately connected with the rest of the body, so incorporating brain-health habits as early as possible will impact on long-term brain health and improve memory and other cognitive processes."
