Have you ever felt a little sluggish mentally? You might be on to something! Our cognitive function can feel a little off from time to time, and if you want to put a stop to feeling a little rusty in the brain department, here are some tips to get you going again.

Snooze
Burning the wick at both ends? Staying up late just to get time for yourself and getting up early to do the same clips how much sleep you get every day. Sleep is so important for our brains; it helps to process experience and information and store it correctly. Not only that, but sleep allows our brains to switch into a different mode for a few hours and our bodies to repair. All of these are good things.
You’ve probably had it yourself: you are a bit tired, and suddenly words come out funny, nothing quite makes sense – and you’re cracky as heck! Get more sleep, and you’ll give your brain the energy to do what needs to be done.
Work it Out
Just like the other muscles in the body, our brains need to be worked out. They love to be active and challenged – aside from making sure the rest of our body is doing what it is supposed to, they like to do stuff. So, what type of thing can you do to make your brain work? Playing games is one that is highly recommended—the demand for hand-eye coordination, puzzle solving, and some speed.
If gaming is not something that you feel like doing, then try crosswords, chess, and sudoku!
Some games are dedicated to cognitive function, though Brain games – MindGames.com.
Social Active
People who are anti-social to an extreme are isolated, and that isolation has a direct impact on our brains. So, even if you are a big introvert and like your company more than you like anyone else, getting out and getting social every once in a while is important. You don’t need to spend hours out of your comfort zone; hanging with friends and family is ideal. The simple art of conversation does wonders for our brains.
Diet
Yep! Your brain is what you eat… Or rather, the food that you eat directly contributes to the health of your brain and its functions. There are some amino acids that we don’t make in the body, but they are beneficial for the brain; many people swear by nootropics from places like science.bio, and omega-3 are important ones, too.
Your diet is vital as what you eat will support the natural functions of the brain.
Hearing
Did you know that if there is any hearing loss or impairment, it can impact our cognitive ability? The issue with hearing loss is that when it occurs naturally, it happens over time and can be tricky to spot. By getting a hearing checkup, you can prevent any cognitive decline caused by hearing loss.
