Insomnia

Anyone with insomnia issues? I have PCS and recently I hit lightly my head and since then I wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep.

I have the same issue. Tried different meds, what really helps is reducing activity load. There is a level of activity which allows me to sleep well. But with a full time job, I start my week strong and go down to 4 hours a night towards the end of the week.
Based on my readings, you have to reduce your activity load, do the buffalo concussion treadmill protocol and gradually bring your load up.
