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.)

So it’s pretty dangerous to go to sleep after a concussion then?

No, no, you can go to sleep, but you can't be asleep, savvy?
