If i'm in the same room as someone with a concussion and i'm watching tv but they're sleeping, is that ok?

Best not to: It's important for patients with concussion to recover from their injury. The process takes 2-3 months and adequate sleep is very important. Proper sleep hygiene involves being in a quite room.
