As I read an article about head concussions on Newsela, I learn that more resting days won't help. Study shows that kids resting for longer days in a dark room complained of feeling worse. Even though, when you get a head concussion its important to rest your body and brain. "We were startled that it was not making a difference," said Dr. Danny G. Doctors think that being kept out of school and away from friends made symptoms worse. They worried about homework and missed their friends. When they studied kids in a dark room for one or only two days, they had slowly returned to school and were moving around. One thing that is clear from the study is to never keep the injured person in a dark room for several days, Dr Collins said.
Yes I found this very interesting. What I found interesting about the article is how they said resting doesn't necessarily help, matter of fact longer resting days make you feel worse than resting for shorter days. Also, to be in a dark room for those days? Kinda strange in my opinion. Like who would stay in a dark room for several days!? I wouldn't be able to do that. No T.V, no nothing with light.
