In addition to the factors already mentioned that affect my cognition to where I am loopy and have memory issues, I would add insomnia or poor sleeping. Poor sleeping for me also raises my stress and anxiety levels, which don't help.

Drinking alcohol didn't help my cognition either.

In mania, my brain is amped up and I make poor decisions, but I am not confused or at a loss for words.
