As she puts it, she believes she experienced <strong>sensory overload<\/strong> due to the overwhelming emotions she felt during the concert: &#8220;You experience all these emotions while they play your favorite songs, and deep down you think, &#8216;Wow, where am I?'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yeahhhh so the last three nights were a dreamscape and totally overwhelming.

The scientific explanation has to do with <strong>our body&#8217;s response to excessively high levels of excitement<\/strong>. At a certain point, our body processes it as stress. In fact, it&#8217;s likely that you have experienced something similar on other special occasions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the stress level in our body increases, even if it&#8217;s due to being overly excited, the neurons associated with memory start to &#8220;burn out.&#8221; As a result, this leads to difficulties in creating new memories. So, now you know: it&#8217;s okay to be slightly excited, but <strong>don&#8217;t go overboard if you don&#8217;t want to end up forgetting everything<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div
