The whole point of meditation is to get used to the that aspect which you have forgotten. In Tibetan "meditation" means "getting used to". Getting used to what? to your true nature, your Buddha nature. This is why, in the highest teaching of Buddhism, Dzogchen, you are told to "rest in the nature of mind". You just quietly sit and let all thoughts and concepts dissolve.
When everything dissolves like this, you begin to experience your true nature, to "live". Then you know it, and at that moment, you feel really good. It is unlike any other feeling of well being that you might have experienced. This is a real and genuine goodness, in which you feel a deep sense of peace, contentment and confidence about yourself.

Meditation is the ultimate anti-hangover because it allows you to see what you are doing as you do it rather than later and so allows your intentions to lead your actions. The more you study what you do the more you will understand what will come of it and the better you will chose what you do next.
Craving and aversion, in all their different forms, pull your mind in many directions and can cause suffering. Meditation allows you to get a really good look at this mechanism and understand it.
Ieyeone nailed it. Meditation “unifies” your mind. “Makes the whole face smile -instead of half of it” is a great answer.

Relaxes the body, opens up the mind. Leaves you feeling peaceful, rejuvinated and puts you in a better state of mind. (the deep breathing works wonders!)

To engage in mental exercise (as concentration on one's breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness.
To engage in contemplation or reflection of a subject that you are concentrating on.
