Feeling weird upon waking up.
Normal?
When I wake up...almost every morning...a few different things can happen. I'll either wake up feeling like im in a dream, wake up kind of delirious and have strange thoughts or I will wake up sort of confused or just weird. Sometimes I won't remember what I did the day before.
It takes me about 5-10 min to get my bearings....but it takes longer (2-3 hours) before I can actually talk to someone. I'm sure the injured brain takes awhile to boot up in the morning...just wondering if anyone experiences something similar.
Thanks!

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
