The saddest thing is that as I get older, I find my recall starting to fail. I'm struggling more and more to pull facts I know that I know. The deluge of information coming from my yammering maw is increasingly choppy and punctuated by trying to remember exact bits of info.

Turns out all that useless knowledge is becoming lost since we go down the wikihole less and less these days.

Too much work, family, entertainment knowledge coupled with having the ability to be sedentary and veg out properly once medicated.

The plus side being I don't wake up feeling like hot ass every day and can actually fall asleep within 5 minutes once I put my electronic down.

Yeah, and just so that it's extra frustrating, it's not the memory (retention) that is failing as much as the recall of it.
