It is advised that one must sleep between 6-8 hours per day. Forgetfulness is a concern for most people which could arise due to stress or emotional burn out. However, a thorough diagnosis is required to evaluate and treat the situation. I would recommend you to visit a psychiatrist to work with the same.
