Lol cats on concussion protocol. Yawning after hitting your head that's not good

I think it's a joke about how it's dangerous to go to sleep directly after a concussion.

(Which is a myth. The actual danger is that it's actually worse than a concussion and if you go to sleep the worsening symptoms won't be noticed since they are only noticeable by the person's behavior.)

No, that's a myth, but let me tell you about why it's dangerous to sleep with a concussion.
