I've seen it posted a lot on the forum, people promoting rest and less stress to help your brain to heal. I get the part about less stress, but what exactly do you mean by rest? Should I sit around and do nothing all day, staring at the walls? Sleep all day? How much sleep do I need when I do sleep? Is laying in bed watching TV considered resting?

The reason I'm asking is..I tried laying around doing nothing all day, and it drove me absolutely crazy. I swear I felt like I was losing my mind. It gave me too much time to think about my symptoms and I started to feel worse. So I started surfing the web, reading articles and playing some brain training games....I just want to know, WHAT is considered rest?
