Hi Thomas-

Thank you very much for your reply. When you say cognitive break do you mean total silence (no tv, internet, work) ?

I know that 5 weeks is not a world of time however I'm having great difficulty getting sleep because the ringing in my right ear keeps me up. It's all very challenging. Hopefully you are doing well and did not have to deal with ringing in the ears/noise sensitivity post concussion.

Thanks for your feedback.

Trying to continue to do the same activities as you did before your injury is going to prolong your recovery.

Take it from me - I ignored my PCS for 6 - 7 months, didn't take a cognitive break, and when I did I started noticing huge improvements.
