Default Head movement during sleep

Hi all, I am 2 year post concussion sufferer. My current most concern is the sensitive head. I'm really worry about it because I made a lot of movement when I am sleeping. Sometimes, I woke up the exactly opposite position (180 degree), with my arm around my head. I also caught myself rolling my head sideway or sliding my head downward. For a injured head, it is surely not a good thing. I suspect I may have rhythmic movement disorder or periodic limb movements disorder. I talk to my doctor and was prescribed clonazepam 0.5mg. I am going to try it tonight.
Have anyone concern about this too? Could you share any idea to make thing better? Would the drug help?

Are you taking quality fish oil and curcumin? Those have helped me most with this head sensitivity.

trongahanty,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I had movement issues during sleep long ago and was prescribe clonazepam. It helped a bit but left me sleepy during the day. I switched to gabapentin and do much better. I don't think this movement is any concern for your head. It may be strenuous on your neck.

A sleep specialist would be a good start to understanding this situation. My concern is whether you are getting good sleep.

What PCS symptoms are you having, if any ?
