    Concussions
    Got hit in the head playing football. My head now hurts and the lights hurt it more. If the game was at 9:30, is it safe for me to go to sleep?

Sleeping helps with the healing process of the brain. So long as there aren't signs of haemorrhaging or swelling then it is safe to sleep.
