i understand rest is needed when the brain starts to get to fatigued sometimes there is no other option but in my opinion whats been helping me has been not really resting and taking my brain and body to the point where it feels really off to the point of not being able to function normal then resting.

this maybe true or not but it would seem that after the injury it would be best to expose your brain and body to loud noises, bright lights and physical work like it used to be instead of shutting it out letting it forget what the world is like. it seems like it gets your body back in its original mode and brain back in its original state and each time and each day you push it you maybe able to push it further and further to the point where a whole day doesnt even bother you anymore. i noticed after alot of rest early in my recovery when i exposed myself to things i havent in awhile i was having a hard time. im thinking just to expose myself to anything and everything and let my brain process it so its not strange next time it see's it

i think it helps mentally too knowing you are actually out there doing things. i think over exposing yourself as time goes on maybe help heal.

i maybe wrong though it is different for everyone
