Trouble falling asleep? Feeling tired all day and awake all night? These are frequent experiences of post-concussion and brain injury survivors. Many lean towards melatonin, so listen in to learn more about why that may not be the best option for you.
Join us today for a talk on why your sleep can be affected post-concussion and what you can do about it. We walk through things from sleep habits, sleep medications, and natural options with today's incredible guest Dr. Brigitta Ziemba a board certified Naturopathic Doctor.
