Default Concussion while sleeping?

Hello everybody,

I have gotten a little better, and I have started to sleep very heavy during the night. This is good because I feel more refreshed when I wake up.

But I have this fear, that I will hit my head at the wall or fx get my girlfriends elbow in my head during sleep. To manage this I have put a pillow between me and the wall and me and my girlfriend.

I have always thought that if I got a hit to the head during sleep, it would wake me up. In spite of this I have had a lot of mornings where I felt bad and I then have been worried that something had happened during the night, but this usually subsides in a couple of hours.

But I have always thought that if I hit my head on the night I would wake up from it. this has not prevented me many mornings waking and if I think I was bad so I was afraid to have turned his head. This fear usually however to evaporate after a few hours.

Last night I woke up at 03:00, and discovered that my son was lying on my arm with his head only 10 cm from my head. I was immediately worried that while asleep he had crawled over to me and falled down on my head. But I did not feel more bad than could be expected, and fell asleep again.

This morning I have had much more nausea, fatigue, brain fog, concentration problems and unsteadiness than usual, and I fear something has happened.

My question is, is it possible to get a concussion or sub concussive impact while asleep without waking from it?

And my second question is, if my son in his sleep has rolled his head into mine, is it then enough to cause a concussion or sub concussive impact?

Thanks for reading.
