Didn't work for me, but good luck to the next person.

I don't even have to go the sleep. I can remember where I went, what I was after (most of the time in retrospect, not always when I get to the closet, etc.) I went to get one 1/4" bolt out of my bin in the shed. I used the bolt and that job was done. Next I needed the keys to get into another cabinet and only then were they not hanging on the lock to the shed. At that point no clue.
But as you say, that routine will play over and you will find the keys in the drawer where the bolt was (maybe, not this time), or nearby on the handiest shelf available while your mind was on the bolt. Not this time.
This sends me into a spiral and it's all my fault. I know this happens sometimes so actually have a "place" I set the key chain until its hung on the peg at the end of the day.
