Welcome to NeuroTalk.

The research suggests 2 things about your condition.

1st. You should not be sleeping during the day. A short nap of 10 to 20 minutes during the middle of the day after a strenuous activity can be helpful to recharge but that time should be limited.

2nd. If you feel tired during the day, that suggests you are not getting quality sleep at night. Many with PCS do not get quality sleep. We need all of the stages of sleep for our brains to heal.

Sleeping during the day can have a negative effect on night time sleep. Night time sleep is when the sleep stages happen.

Moving could have inflamed an upper neck injury. These are usually subtle but the inflammation can trigger PCS symptoms. It is important to be disciplined with sleeping and resting head and neck posture to reduce strain on the neck so inflammation can resolve. Icing can help.

You are not specific about your active rest concept so I cannot address it. Many of us have had to learn the early signs of fatigue so we do not push past that fatigue threshold. We just lower our intensity.

Nobody can prognose your recovery. It is not worth the mental energy for you to be concerned about it. Just move forward from where you are now.
