Default Insomnia

Hey guys!

I'm new here.

I hit my head 4 weeks ago at a rock concert and now (along with many other symptoms) I seem to have developed sleep maintenance insomnia. I'll get to sleep okay, but around 3-4am I wake up and it will take hours for me to get back to sleep (usually for only another few hours, if that). I wake up and spend a good part of the day groggy, anxious, and disoriented along with my regular symptoms.

Has this been a problem for anyone else? Are there any sleeping pills that are safe and work? I tried 3mgs of melotonin but I still wake up. NyQuil used to help but I've developed a tolerance.

My friend who has depression and anxiety claims that Unisom is pretty great, but idk if it's okay for someone with PCS.

I've asked my neurologist but it could be days before she gets back to me.

Thanks!
