If you are always losing your keys in the morning or walking out of the house without your mobile phone, sleep deprivation could be to blame.
A study has found a lack of sleep makes us feel foggy for a reason: brain cells lose their ability to communicate with each other when we’re tired.
Temporary mental lapses are now believed to occur when these cells struggle to translate visual information into conscious thought.
It means if a bunch of keys are in front of someone, they could walk past without picking them up.
