Ah sleep
It is very scattered for me.
But I do have good energy too. If I can get 6 straight hours that is AMAZING!
I do take liquid melatonin and liquid valerian and these help me fall asleep, but I have been awaking in the middle of the night and dozing and sometimes getting better sleep.
I have get physically tired too during the day in order to feel sleepy at night.
I have been working on relaxation techniques and just not getting upset about my patchy sleep.
I did try Zoloft one night for sleep and it was horrible for me, so I am just going to try and be very chill and accept the sleep I get and work with the brain I have too.

[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.
