It is usually recommended that a person who has suffered a concussion to woken up every hour during the night to rule out progressing neurological damage resulting from a hemorrhage in the brain that could have been missed at the hospital.
Only sometimes because some concussions can be way more seurious than others, so either ask your doctor, or find out how bad your concussion is and then you'll have the answer right away.

You can sleep after a concussion. This was not recommended for years to observe a person for any changes after a concussion. People worried that the person may go into a coma and never wake up. This is no longer believed to be true. You can allow someone to sleep after a concussion. This should cut down on sleep deprivation for all involved.
People with concussion should be seen by a doctor if they were unconscious for more than 5 minutes or amnesia persists or if they do not appear to behave normally.
If you have had no treatment from a doctor or hospital, it is better to stay awake for around 12 hours after the incident. If you have friends that can wake you up ever hour or so, this will help keep someone from falling asleep and not waking up.
You could possibly go into a coma, and even possibly die, yes.
well it depends on how bad of a concussion you have.
Yes. If you fall asleep you could not wake up, meaning you would die.
You should stay awake for at least 6 hours.
Studies have shown that it is okay for one to sleep after concussion as long as someone wakes you up every two hours to make sure conditions are not worsening
only if you go to sleep when you have the concussion
only if you go to sleep when you have the concussion
go to sleep
Due to the potential brain damage incurred from a concussion, concussion victims are kept awake primarily to observe and ensure no brain damage has occured. In situations where it has, death may result from a person sleeping.
it is entirely ok to sleep after a minor concussion- if that is all you have. try remember your last name/first name/phone number etc if not seek medical attention immediatly
The name for a "slight" concussion is a minor one (as opposed to major).The word miner is one who works in a mine, who also might get a concussion.
Sleep after suffering a concussion is pretty normal. HOWEVER! Sleeping that progessively gets longer and deeper (and confusion present) is NOT normal. This could be a sign of a bleed in the brain that is gettig worse. Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention. Any brain injury is SERIOUS!
Yes, it can be.
This is a myth. Say if your child hits their head and u think they have a concussion...they can go to sleep, as long as they will wake up when lightly shaken or called by name you are fine.
I can only think of one stem in the word "concussion" which is "con". Con means together.
A double concussion is a concussion that immediately follows the first concussion, or occurs before the injured party is asymptomatic.
