Sleep Medicine Specialist Questions Issues sleeping

Could my daughter's forgetfulness be due to lack of sleep?

Lately, my daughter has been having trouble sleeping. This has been happening for a few weeks, and she's been a lot lazier and quite forgetful. Could these two things be related?

Yes it is entirely possible for poor sleep and daytime tiredness to cause impaired memory and judgment. Trouble sleeping can be a sign of anxiety or stress or depression. It would definitely be appropriate to have her physician evaluate the problem.
