Connect with people and challenge your brain to think and recall. While stimulating your social brain daily—even very briefly— will enhance cognitive skills both in the moment and moving forward.

Without quality sleep your brain consolidates memory and restores brain cells for optimal behavior. Make an effort to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night to enhance your mental sharpness.
