Sleep disorders after traumatic brain injury are extremely common - and they make every other TBI symptom worse. Proper treatment and compensation require recognizing sleep problems as part of your brain injury.
Sleep problems after TBI often create a vicious cycle - poor sleep worsens brain injury symptoms, and brain injury symptoms prevent good sleep. If you're experiencing persistent sleep problems after a work injury, you may need a sleep study and specialized treatment. Sleep disorders are compensable injuries that deserve proper legal recognition.
Between 30-70% of TBI survivors develop sleep disorders. This includes insomnia (can't fall or stay asleep), hypersomnia (excessive sleeping), sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disruption, and narcolepsy-like symptoms. Poor sleep dramatically worsens cognitive problems, pain, mood disorders, and healing. Yet sleep disorders after TBI often go undiagnosed and untreated.
If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your brain injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. This "two claims" strategy can significantly increase your total recovery.
