Your brain uses more energy than any other part of your body, when it is injured or concussed your energy reserves are depleted as a result. During PCS your tension and arousal levels are high and this also leads to reduced concentration and increased fatigue. Everything becomes an effort and it takes a long time to get over, but resting is the right course of action.
