suddencognition ∣noun∣/sʌdnkɔg’niʃən/
You use this word to describe a case: when you suddenly realize something after you have tried to get it for a long time. For example, you've learned English since you were little, but not until recently did you begin to know how to use English 'tenses' correctly. Another example: when you suddenly realized what life you really need to live.
Example sentence: It's wonderful to have the feeling of suddencognition.

Sorry to hear of that. Too often, however, we don't feel like writing - you're not alone in feeling that way.
Get some sleep - unwind! Good luck.
I have no suddencognition right now. I am dumb and numb due to over work!
@Tara
Yes, 'light-bulb moment' is what I wanted to express. And, thanks for sharing the 'index finger' thing - interesting!
How about 'take a tumble'? I assume it may mean the same thing. Thanks again!
@setareh
Thanks a lot!
Excellent! I love your word. We sometimes call this a "light-bulb moment".
In English, when a person has suddencognition, he may point his index finger in the air and say, "Oh, I know!"
Thanks to Onee, Vision, Adaline, Luci, Elen.
Yes, you all got it. Maybe you could use such expressions as 'sudden insight', 'sudden enlightenment', 'suddenly dawned on me', 'epiphany' or 'satori'. I forgot an idiom which means the same.
I'm not sure if there really is a word which means exactly what I'm trying to express, so I came up with this word 'suddencognition'. The word root is 'cognis' (= know).
Nice word Expector Smith! I don't have it in my language.
She watched a theater, and after some years of studying economy, she had the suddengognition that she wanted to become an actress.
Dear Expector, It's a lovely invention of a new word. Thanks for sharing.
My sentence with your new word:
I suddencognized driving from last week!
