I heard from a friend that sleep deprivation causes the brain to shut down in parts - so while the person is awake, a small part of their brain switches off and has a cat nap. So part of the memory thing that toasted is talking about is partly due to this - the bit you need is just out of action! You look like a real person but you only have a part brain! (Well, that is me anyway!) Great post - would love to read it!Umatjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413838821059854456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533384189359298258.post-77619247345860628842009-10-22T23:31:17.709+11:002009-10-22T23:31:17.709+11:00Hear, hear! and Here, here!
I'd like to read ...Hear, hear! and Here, here!<br /><br />I'd like to read that book. <br /><br />Motherhood has rewired my brain in so many ways. The one thing I haven't really heard being talked about is the so-called 'poor memory.'Yes, my memory aint what it used to be - but it's just as effective. I can always recall what I'm after, but there's often a time-lag (as much as half a day sometimes!) I theorise that this is just an effect of multi-tasking; I throw a request to my memory, and my brain sets to work digging up the response, but realises it's usually not a task worth fussing over. My mother-brain and it's ever-efficient prioritising system just lets the answer float to the top nice-and-easy-like, leaving me free to do a bazillion other things (like stopping kamikaze 17-month-olds from tap-dancing on the kitchen table!)Leigh @ Toastedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182956224045232807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533384189359298258.post-4069696991513657032009-10-22T22:37:13.800+11:002009-10-22T22:37:13.800+11:00I was given this book and being the mum of two gir...I was given this book and being the mum of two girls I think it's a ripper.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of it.
