When this happens, I get mildly agitated and seem to want to keep on doing things, rather than settle down and rest, read, study or meditate. Having energy is good, but rather than enter into this hyped-up mode, I would prefer a slower, more deliberate and attentive form of doing ("clean-burning" fuel instead of energy spikes, if that makes any sense) - which also seems more conducive to PCS recovery.

Yes but only recently. I was really pleased this week (2 and a half months post injury) that I was recovering some of my energy but I seemed to pick up a desire to do do do do, move move move. I had to almost make myself sit down to rest (and still had trouble staying still).
I spent a few days like this until I had a big scare (stupid doctor dropped a trash can or something while I had my eyes closed) and now I'm back to barely plodding along.
