abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sleep disturbances are a common symptom following concussions to include athletic concussion.

It also includes a description of sleep abnormalities in sleep duration, quality and timing as well as recommended treatment approaches. Finally, it includes a brief discussion of emerging paradigms of sleep and concussion recovery.
