One good way to improve memory is to get enough sleep.

A friend of mine just told me this story. She has a friend who is an overworked, stressed-out veterinarian and mother. That friend contacted the Mayo Clinic's memory clinic, and the clinic said for her not to get in touch again until she could assure them that she was getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night.

Apparently, that was the end of the quest. A working woman and mother get 8 hours of sleep? Ha ha is to laugh.
