My Memory Game

[+ Avalon]

I have a poor memory so I made this memory game but it hasn't helped. It takes me awhile at night to fall asleep. Plus I get up several times.

 

So I connected something with the first day of each of the 12 months. Kept it simple. Like 1 June celebrates the birthday of the poet Dante. 1 October the anniversary of the death of Don Juan of Austria, natural son of the Emperor Charles V. He was the Victor at Lepanto.

 

So in bed I try to list them in order. Sometimes I can list all but usually not. Sometimes I'll remember one but then seconds later I'll have forgotten it again.

 

But I've had such a memory for years.

It's probably from all the caffeine you drink. Hint.

Could be. I'm hooked! I don't drink coffee or tea but indulge in diet soda and water. That would help explain my long time memory problems.

@Avalon if this is what you are doing while trying to fall asleep this may be counterproductive. To fall asleep I would think you want to relax and clear mind and not try to do memory games and get your brain active

Thank-you! I'll give it a try.

I would think caffeine is a memory booster. But as @510guy said, if you have trouble falling asleep, this does not seem to be the way to do it.

Sometimes at night in bed I pretend that I'm a teacher giving a lesson. Last night I was explaining the differences between the Honen and the Shinran Schools of Pureland Buddhism.

My favorite subjects are history and religion / mythology and epic poetry.

You may appeal to a portion of the population who are also interested in it. You never know. I'll stick to reruns of The Nanny.:cool:
