Hi,

I have heard of something like this. I was told no TV, no reading, no sound, no light - basically avoid anything that could cause stimulation for your brain.

Yikes.

I am nearing the 2 year mark for PCS and part of my brain rehab is to take a 5 minute break each hour to zone out. I can stretch, do light rehab exercises or just sit with my eyes closed anything but stimulate my brain.

Ideally it allows the brain to re-boot and then conserve some energy. So far, I notice that I can do more when I embrace this.


A hotel room would have been nice....

I'm assuming I will need a hotel room for this!!

Anyone hear of it...apparently a dr in CT has success with his pediatric patients using this method.

thoughts???
