Since my concussion 5 months ago I literally have not had a single night of uninterrupted 7-8 hours of sleep. I wake up frequently throughout the night and have to fall back asleep. If I'm lucky I only wake up like twice, though that's rare. On average I wake up at least 4 times before it's time to get out of bed. I honestly miss being able to wake up from an uninterrupted 7-8 hours of sleep to the sound of my alarm; now I don't even need an alarm because I know I'll wake up anyway..

Has anyone been successful in overcoming such sleep interruptions? I'm open to trying anything, as I believe getting my sleep quality back will probably be a big milestone in my recovery. Thanks for any input you may have.
