Is there a way to improve concentration and memory?

I have a terrible memory and find it hard to concentrate on things, In school teachers would be talking and I'd just look away and space out and in my French class we have to remember a paragraph of writing for homework and then say it out loud when...

where in class, I revise it but I just can't remember anything. I even sometimes forget what I've said, done or where I've placed something seconds after I've done it. Is there a way to improve my focus and memory?

its been proven that sleep plays a huge roll in day to day memory. I just started my second year of college and I've given myself a strict bedtime, no eating rite before sleep and no tv or things that stimulate. It worked! im actually doing noticably better in school and just feel more myself and upbeat. Thers natural supplements in your drugstore herb/ sups section that help with memory, no perscription needed and ther safe. For concentration I work somewhere by myself when possible and listen to classical music through in ear headphones. their like earplugs with music. got to have complete quiet. goodluck

Improving your concentration and improving your memory are two different things - improved two different ways. I found articles on both for you to go through if its something you are interested in reading about.

Ther are some games you can play to improve your memory and that will help you consentrate because you will no what evry1 is talkin about. I havnt done it my bro has so I'm not sure wer you should go. But try going to google and looking up memory games or something,

Hope this helped
