Cognition
cog·ni·tion (noun) High-level functions carried out by the human brain, including comprehension and use of speech, visual perceptions and construction, calculation ability, attention (information processing), memory, and executive functions such as planning, problem-solving and self-monitoring.
 One of the most important aspects of our freedom and independence is our ability to operate our motor vehicles. Beginning about age 30 our brains begin their slow cognitive decline, that’s the part of the brain we need in order to drive safely. By age 60 or 70 it is well underway. The good news is, not only can we stop it but we can reverse it through cognitive training.
Just as physical exercise is good for the body; mental training can keep older minds functioning better, with results lasting for years. Older adults who received just 10 sessions of mental training showed long-lasting improvements in memory, reasoning and speed of processing five years after the intervention, say researchers, read the report.

How Important is Sleep?
 |
As we get older we tend not to sleep as well or as long as we use to. It turns out that sleeping is much more important to our overall well being than has been thought.
As we age we experience cognitive decline and not getting enough sleep also adversely affects our cognitive functions, those things like reasoning, memory, problem solving and others.
To improve your cognition some, all you need to do is get in the habit of getting a good nights sleep. There are other things you can do as well, like be a little more sociable.
