Impaired attention due to poor sleep can lead to memory issues because information cannot be processed or stored.

“And the re and that can create memory issues. But a lot of the memory issues are memory issues because sleep is really important in memory. Remember, you're taking all the stuff I was talking about is all memory connected functions. It's about sorting through information, processing information, consolidating information, integrating information. And if you're not able to do those things, you're operating inefficiently. You're not performing those functions. But memory but memory is also a function of attention where if you're not able to focus and attend, even if your memory machinery was working perfectly, you have nothing to process because it never got in there.”
