Is Excessive Sleep Normal In Case Of Head Injury?
Hi there!. I have an urgent question. So today around 12:20-30 I fell down a stairwell at school it was either the 6th or 10th step. I fell down (Kinda rolling down) and I hit my head against the wall. I also damaged my knees but nothing that serious. So anyway I have no symptoms except sleepiness. No headaques,

Excessive sleepiness is a symptom of a concussion. A concussion is a brain bruise that can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sleepiness
The best cure for a concussion is resting in a dark quiet environment until your symptoms go away
I would go to an emergency room if you are not acting correctly or you vomit more than once
I would not participate in any contact activities until cleared by a doctor
