Memories are best retrieved if the context of retrieval matched the context when the memory was formed.
If I'm studying for a test while listening to Mozart, burning a lavender-scented candle, and eating Sour Patch gummy bears, I will recall that information better on the test day if I'm doing the same things.
Are you caffeinated while learning something? Are you tired while learning something.? Then match the conditions while learning when you want to retrieve it.
