Are you depressed? Do you have any substance abuse issues? Do you have sleep quality issues? If yes to any of those, bingo, very likely. (Think real hard before saying "no" to any -- these problems can be hard to spot, sometimes.) If you don't have any of these problems, then, yes, if what you are describing is typical for you, you may have something else going on and potentially worth asking a medical professional about. (And of course, if you do have any of these issues, talk to a medical professional, in any case.) We all have lapses of memory, but in healthy adults, they tend not to interfere in normal day-to-day functioning.
