That's interesting, doctors I talked to told me "there's no such thing as too much rest in your situation" when I had asked the question. However, to be fair, I had only asked that during the initial stages right after the concussion when I could easily sleep for 12 hours and was wondering if that was a bad thing. Now that I'm back on a regular sleeping schedule, I haven't asked that question in a while.

So I'm not sure if the "no such thing as too much rest" mantra only applies to the critical period after the injury, or if it's also true for later stages of PCS as well.

Maybe this is a bad line of thinking, but with a lot of things I always just feel that you should do what's going to make you feel better. We're the only ones that know our own limits and know what makes us feel bad. So if resting a lot makes you feel better than pushing yourself, I say why not. Listen to what your body is telling you. Just my two cents.

Although I definitely understand the frustration either way.
