I can attest to that- For me half of it was just not knowing and being aware of how important rest is. The other half was the pressure that seems to be put on people my age. It is made out to be that one has to do everything to stay on the four year path. I can say that before my injury I put a lot of pressure on every aspect of my life, not just school or career wise, but socially too.
Even before my hit to the head partying one night would knock me out the next couple days, so I cannot even imagine what it would do to my body now. I gave up drinking after the last concussion, and I have been better off for it and wish I would have quit a lot sooner in college.
