Sleep Disturbance and Neurocognitive Function During the Recovery From a Sport-Related Concussion in Adolescents

Abstract

Adolescent patients who perceive that their sleep is somehow disrupted after SRC may report a greater number of concussion symptoms during their recovery. In addition, the study results suggest that sleeping more than normal may identify an individual who continues to be actively recovering from concussion, given the correlation between lower neurocognitive function and this self-reported symptom.
