Deags,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

The fatigue you are experiencing is common. You are likely pushing too hard at work. A short mid-day nap may help if you can do it. You also may not be sleeping deeply enough to get restorative REM sleep.

If anybody can observe you sleeping, have them watch your breathing. PCS can cause sleep apnea due to upper neck inflammation. This can make PCS symptoms much worse.

Do not use caffeine to wake up. Maybe a shower with water, maybe even cool water over your head and face will help. There is a need to get good blood flow going in your head.

Be sure to stay hydrated. Dehydration can cause the blood to thicken reducing capillary blood flow.

It is difficult to recover while trying to maintain a full work schedule. WC doctors are also of little help in recommending rest.

Hope you can find a way to get the rest you need.

My best to you.
