Abstract

Concussion is an important cause of disability in children and accounts for 70–90% of all traumatic brain injuries. Sleep disturbances are a common symptom in children who sustain a concussion, and over 30% of children report sleep symptoms a month after injury. The most common sleep problems are insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and circadian rhythm disorders. Understanding and managing sleep is important because it may improve recovery and return to baseline. Risk factors include prior history of sleep problems and multiple concussions. EEG changes support the presence of sleep problems. Diagnosis is largely based on symptom report. There is limited evidence-based research on the management of sleep problems in the context of concussion.
