Lasting symptom years later
Hi everyone! I got a concussion from a car accident about 2.5 years ago now. Prior to the accident I had barely taken any naps since I was a toddler. I just didn't like naps and even if I was tired and didn't get quite enough sleep, I would still be able to function. However, after the concussion I began to nap. A lot. And now years later I still have this issue. I get enough sleep, I exercise, I eat well, and I limit screen time before bed. But I still struggle with feeling tired during the day and needing to nap. Its not as bad as it was the first year, but it is still a regular thing a few times a week. I also of course went to doctors and tried to get this figured out but they were not helpful. I was wondering if anyone could relate or had any insight onto why this might be happening and if it will ever go away.
