A member asked:
How long would it take until it's safe to sleep after assumed concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When to sleep: You should be evaluated by a physician after experiencing a concussion. If there is no evidence of bleeding within the skull or brain or significant swelling, and your mental status returns to normal, ask your physician when he will permit sleep. This is usually 4-6 hours after the concussion.
