I have been attributing this to stress, but it is getting to the point where I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I can't seem to remember pieces of information even after immediately reading them, unless the subject is computer or work related. When I meet people, I pretty much forget their names as soon as the conversation is over. Looking through my inbox, I have about 8 emails to myself reminding me to do one thing or another, and my monitor is covered in sticky notes.

Is this just an effect of working 80 hours a week and going being a full-time student, or is it possible I have a problem? Is there some kind of mental training I can try that will exercise my short-term memory? I'm starting to freak out a little bit.
