The first few days of my concussion were tough with insomnia. I had it extremely bad, like no sleep to one hour of sleep, which really didn't help with the anxiety at the time. A month later, i began sleep 3-4 hours. My sleep was my primary concern for brain healing, so I saw a psych who prescribed me Zyprexa for sleep and mood, which did help my mood and sleep, but not my anxiety, nausea or appetite! I later then dumped Zyprexa, and began getting 6 hours of sleep. I later on ended up depressed, without my computer, without movies, and ended up sitting in a room watching snow. A month after that, I began seeing my friends, and my symptoms improved. They all took care of me, made sure I ate, took my vitamin regimen, and took me to the doctors when needed. My sleep ended up being and is now 7 hours. Some days I see REAL improvement like 8 hours! Insomnia gets better, so don't give up hope!
