Update on Sleep/Insomnia
So, today is 31 days out. Some symptoms have gone, or disturbingly come and go (like earlier today at the dog park, I couldn't pay attention to people or dogs and just spaced out for a bit. Scary 😟). But mainly it's lack of sleep (4.5hrs average a night I've been logging this in a journal). Seriously didn't know I could function with this little sleep, it's my new normal I guess. Saw an urgent care doctor who referred me for CT scan and will get results later. She was a sweet lady but I don't think she knows much about concussion. She recommended relaxation techniques, melatonin and unisom, etc. Said I was having alot of stress from this (no duh) and if I got that under control I should get more sleep, which should then also decrease my blood pressure back to normal levels (right now my bp is about 130's/85ish, normal for me 110/70). For all the concussion insomniacs here, especially those who replied to my last post, let's update each other. I'm particularly interested in hearing about how this has affected you from before to now. Have you been able to live a life, work, socialize, do hobbies with this lesser amount of sleep?
