Short term memory loss a concern?

I notice myself starting to forget things more frequently

Recently I have been at the mercy of my memory. There seems to be more incidents where I forget where certain items were kept or what I was supposed to do after entering a room. Like a memory blackout.

These occurrences led me to do some online research on the causes of memory loss. It seems that different websites have listed different factors causing short term memory loss. The picture below was taken from one such website. It tells of how my own short term memory loss could be due to drug use...

OK I joke. I figured stress and sleep deprivation are dragging me down. Perhaps it is time for me to find more ways to relax or even try to get more quality sleep. Things have really been hectic recently in my work.
