My wife has this happen all of the time, not to say that I don't. But do you ever walk into a room and forget what you came in there for? Brain farts are a real thing.
Researchers from the University of Liège investigated why we have these “brain farts”, and discovered we may be taking “mini-naps.” So you always say you need more rest, maybe your brain just goes in auto pilot mode when this happens? But people report experiencing brain farts between 5 to 20% of the time while performing typical tasks. Like when you walk in a room and instantly forget what you went in there for.
Those with ADHD experience mind blanks more frequently. So YES. It is a thing for a lot of us.
Has this happened to you?
