Confused--

Most ER's do not take these kinds of things terribly seriously if you do not present life threatening symptoms, at least that has been my experience.

It sounds like with the sleep disturbance and brain fog, you may have PCS.

As someone who was working full time and going to grad school full time at the time of my car accident, I understand what it is like to feel like you don't have the time to be checked out. HOWEVER....

I urge you to get to a neurologist ASAP. Preferably one who has experience with PCS. I know you may not want to take time away from your classes. But, as someone who has been there, I tried to push it right after my accident and did myself in. I am now on month 5 of no work, no classes, and as much rest as possible.

PCS is NOT one of those, no pain no gain, type of deals. The harder you push, the more pain you will feel, the more fatigue you will feel, the harder your symptoms are going to start effecting you life. You MUST get checked out and follow the Dr's orders, even if they are to have complete rest.

As I said, I tried to push through, and my symptoms became so overwhelming, I couldn't get out of bed, couldn't move around well, etc. Also, the more you push, the longer your recovery will take. I wish I knew that when this all started 5 months ago.

As you have had previous head trauma, that can also effect your recovery. You are more like to have longer lasting symptoms, more severe symptoms, etc.

Sorry for the not so great news, but the sooner you are seen and take care of yourself, the more likely you will be to start feeling better sooner, rather than later.

Best of luck to you.
