[SpaceCadet]

Does anyone else have this problem?

It seems like every time I go to sleep and wake up, whether it be for the night or just a nap, I wake up with a poor functioning brain. It seems to get better a few hours after waking up, that's if I mildly stimulate my brain with something. What seems to work the best is having conversation with someone. I'll pretty much embarrass myself at first...and then suddenly, my brain wakes up and I'm almost talking like I didn't have a brain injury.

After the conversation is over, I'll go to rest (even just sitting somewhere quietly)...and the fog will come rolling back in.

Also, I could be having a pretty decent day...and then eat lunch or dinner, then BAM, my brain fog is back again and the rest of my day is ruined.

So confusing...because I've heard from doctor's and read on here that good nutrition and rest are the best thing for an injured brain. It seems to be the opposite for me. If I don't get proper rest and don't eat 3 meals a day...I seem to function much better.

Sorry if this post is a little chaotic. I was actually feeling pretty good earlier and decided to take a 20 min nap. When I woke up...I was a complete space cadet and have been ever since.
