Adequate sleep is necessary for your health and mental well-being, it would also keep you sound and focused for your day-to-day activities.

You might create time for naps in the afternoons if you are off duty, as little as 20-40minutes would help improve your memory.

What you take in also determines how well you would be able to sleep,so pay attention to foods and drinks that might make catching some sleep hard for you.

• MAKE TIME FOR MEDITATION: To meditate means to sit or lie down and come to a deep rest while remaining conscious.

It's relaxing and soothing and has been found to reduce stress and pain, lower blood pressure and improve memory.

The brain contains gray matters which declines as we age, research has shown that meditation increases gray matter in the brain.

• DO WELL TO BALANCE YOUR NUTRITIONAL NEEDS WITH A MULTIVITAMIN SUPPLEMENT: Adequate vitamins are needed for effective functioning of the brain and memory.

Proper amounts of vitamins C,D,E,K and B complex in the diet have all been linked to memory enhancement including minerals like magnesium, iron,iodine and zinc.

• MAKE MUSIC A PART OF YOU: Everything that has to do with music(playing,listening,dancing, singing) plays a good role in enhancing your memory.

Music is one the few activities that engages both sides of the brain simultaneously,instrumental music positively impacts memory,focus, attention, language skills and physical coordination.

• TAKE UP A HOBBY: Mental intensive or craft hobbies has a great way of improving your memory, attentions you could channel on your hobby could help ward you off depression s, protect the brain from aging and increase dopamine (the brain chemical that keeps you motivated).
