Understanding How Sleep Health Affects Recovery from Adolescent Concussion
We will conduct a prospective cohort study, with two groups (concussed and control). They will undergo an initial assessment (within 14 days of concussion) and a follow up ~28 days post-concussion. Controls will follow a similar timeline. During the ~two-week period between Visits 1 & 2, participants will wear an actigraphy device nightly to track sleep habits and complete daily surveys (Fig 4). On the night after Visit 1 and before Visit 2, they will also undergo an at-home measurement of sleep architecture.
