It is best if you don't, but you should be awaken every few hours for the first 24 hours if you go to sleep. Also, avoid salty foods.

I had one once and these were my instructions.

concussion? no I think its cuncussion? ok well been a long time since i had to spell that one really
And yes lynn is right hun. take nothing that would make yu drowsy except what they prescribed ususally tylenol for any pain and some ice, and have someone wake yu the first 24 hrs every 2 hrs to make sure yur not having any undue swelling on the brain
To see if yu can be easily awakened hun, cause unresponsiveness or lethargy usually means just that that the swelling is increasing, which means yu need to go back to the hospital... ok?

We've been here before on the board. Collective statements from before are this: if you lost consciousness AT ALL EVEN IF JUST A BIT, then go to the ER and tell them that. It is that important.
