I would just say keep at it.
Most importantly do NOT get a second concussion!!!!!!! I cannot say this enough! I am the worst example, but I mean it, it is miserable!
I found that slowly my mind has come back to me and then it disappears again when I hit my head again, each time it takes longer and it has a worse result, but with time and the patience of others I slowly get it back.
Good luck. Sleep is important, but so is pushing yourself. At least for me, if I don't push myself every day then I feel much more depressed and selfish and I can get stuck in the selfishness and forget those around me. So, my rule is to push myself a little each day, and each day that means something different. Some days it is just going to classes and other days it means working out at the gym, but always pushing for those around me.
God Bless

Fell off a horse in late winter of 2009 blacked out for a couple seconds, had amnesia for 10 hours (still don't remember this time), had 2 CT scans, 2 MRI's, 1 MRA all negative. Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused
constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance.
Migraine triggers are:
light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights)
sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds)
temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat)
activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled)
pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails)
lacks or quality (food, sleep, water)
tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness)
