I stopped drinking alcohol since and opt out of caffeinated beverages.
Thanks for the advice. I'll rest up as much as I can, and let time do the healing.

Something doesn't quite add up, my impression was that raccoon eyes are actual
bruising around the eyes related to head trauma (black eyes). I think if this was the case, you'd either have bruising around only one eye, or it would be a sign of a more serious brain injury or a skull fracture? You had none of these.
I am not a doctor, but I think bruising around both eyes from a just a concussion might be possible but rare.
If yours were only heavy dark bags, in my opinion they sound more like allergic shiners, or 'dark circles' which are caused by numerous less sinister things. Did you have actual bruising which took a long time to disappear?
