Cognitive loss in older adults is a growing issue in our society, and there is a need to develop inexpensive, simple, effective in-home treatments. This study was conducted to explore the use of olfactory enrichment at night to improve cognitive ability in healthy older adults.Minimal olfactory enrichment administered at night produces improvements in both cognitive and neural functioning. Thus, olfactory enrichment may provide an effective and low-effort pathway to improved brain health.

I'm going to give it a try, certainly can't hurt.
I surprise myself with the things I remember with regard to my job as well as other things. My memory seems to be better now. I attribute it to not having all the distractions of dealing with people all day or putting up with drama. For now, I am pretty happy with how well my memory has held up. I am also not ferrying kids to this, that, and the other thing and fighting traffic on the daily.
