A concussion is a process. Moderating your life for the first few days or longer is highly recommended. After the original impact symptoms, many do not experience concussion symptoms for a few day but overdoing it can bring them on with a vengeance.

You need to find low stress activities to keep your mind occupied. You should not be sleeping more then usual and you should be sleeping at the usual times.

You would also benefit from treating your brain like it has been injured. It needs proper nutrition. The Vitamins sticky has been helpful to many. Stay active with low stress tasks.
