How well are you sleeping ?

TBI can mess up sleeping plus it can cause problems with sleep apnea. I have had problems with Central Sleep Apnea where my diaphragm does not pull air into my lungs. It is due to inflammation in my neck. After a night of sleep apnea, I feel tired all day until I get some good sleep.

Just read an article that mentions how dark chocolate has components that are good for long term memory functions. Maybe that is how I keep my long term memory working. I eat 200 calories worth of dark chocolate each day.

Have you learned how to ' stop to think' ? Accessing long term memory for the TBI injured can take discipline. I need to block out other stimulation so I can dig into my long term memory. I have a variety of tricks to stimulate recall.

Tell us more about your days. Are you living in a dorm or apt with other students ?
