Lack of sleep, stress can lead to symptoms resembling concussion
news.osu.edu- Up to 27% healthy college athletes with no history of concussion reported post-concussion syndrome symptoms in a study of 31,000 student athletes.
- Lack of sleep, mental health problems and stress were the most important related factors.
- Study authors were shocked, but one explanation for this is that the definition of post-concussion syndrome is too broad.
- This might be a call for a more specific definition, as well as better mental health care for young athletes.
