A slight fever has been shown in research to have cognitive benefits. Maybe thats whats causing it.
"

It's an interesting thought! There is some research suggesting that mild fever, typically as a result of an infection, can have temporary effects on brain function, including cognitive processes like memory, learning, and problem-solving. Some studies suggest that a slight fever might improve certain types of cognitive function due to the body's immune response. The idea is that the fever could promote the release of certain molecules (like cytokines) that influence brain function and protect neurons.
However, the relationship between fever and cognitive performance is complex, and it depends on factors like the severity of the fever, the cause, and individual health conditions. Generally, high fever or prolonged fever can lead to cognitive impairments, so mild fever's cognitive benefits are usually short-term and context-dependent.
If you're noticing a slight fever and feeling a bit more mentally sharp, it could be a coincidental or temporary effect. If it persists or worsens, it’s important to monitor other symptoms and consult a healthcare professional.
