We’ve all been frustrated when we can’t remember where we put something—like our car keys—resulting in lots of wasted time searching frantically. Instead of tearing the cushions off your couch, however, you may want just to sit for a few minutes. According to a Yale University study, stress increases a brain chemical that prevents short-term-memory neurons from firing. So relax, and you may remember. If not, call a cab.
