Sleep
I go through times where I just have less sleep and I've made myself realized that I can't get freaked out about it. It's just not worth it.
I can now exercise much more so I take long, but not hard walks so I make myself physically tired.
Every night for about 3 months I've been taking 2 dropperfuls of liquid melatonin and liquid valerian and it helps me get to sleep.
Mark is right. Sleep is a dicipline and learning to shut off the brain and let yourself rest is a skill I could learn more about.
Try meditation or maybe even acupunture. Learn to let yourself rest and relax.
Take care,
pm

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
