Hi all

A loved one has been experiencing insomnia after a concussion. It started off with him getting 6 hours of sleep per night (he usually gets 7-8), then it became every other day he wouldn't be able to sleep at all, and now he is averaging aboug 3 hours sleep per night. He has tried 5mg of Stilnox (zolpidem), which gave him 4.5 hours of sleep.

He's said his insomnia feels like his brain has forgotten how to sleep - he rarely feels sleepy or drowsy.

Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, what medications worked for you and how long did your symptoms last?

Any help would be really appreciated.
