Insomnia...
I don't know the medical defintion of it, but for me, it is chronically waking up too early and not getting back to sleep.
Even though I take Gaba, I still wake up at 3 or 2 or 4 AM and sometimes am just awake.
Stress from my job can give me sleeplessness too.
I don't have an answer to how to get rid of insomnia, manage work stress (except that I am not at my job right now) or if my sleep problems are from PCS or not. I think not so much... I was sleeping better a month ago when I was tired all the time, but that was horrible.
Blue, sounds like you have interrupted sleep.
Sleep is such a wonderful thing.
Hope you find enough of it tonight.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
