A week after my concussion I woke with tinnitus which flares up sometimes to compound matters. They both seem related somehow. How do folk cope?

I had my first concussion this February (2-8-2019) and my sleep has been bad. Initially I slept 2 to 4 hours then stayed awake for 2 to 4 hours. My neurologist prescribed me amitriptyline to help with the pain. The first week I slept great but I'm back to waking up alot. I've tried adding melatonin too. I fall asleep- but I dont stay asleep. If you found a solution please let me know
