🧠💤 Does a mild traumatic brain injury affect your ability to sleep?

The short answer is yes. Following a mild traumatic brain injury, sleep disturbances such as insomnia, hypersomnia, and sleep apnea may occur and can also affect recovery.

Quality sleep plays an important role in helping the brain rest and recover. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a calm and dark sleep environment, and limiting electronics before bed may help support better sleep.

👉 Swipe through to learn more about the connection between brain injury and sleep, along with some tips for a better night’s rest.

If sleep difficulties continue, speak with your doctor or healthcare provider.

On October 15, OBIA had the opportunity to attend the Light It Up for NDEAM event hosted by PATH Employment in Hamilton!

National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is an important opportunity to raise awareness about disability inclusion in the workplace and celebrate the valuable contributions of workers with disabilities.

By lighting up buildings and landmarks across the community, Light It Up for NDEAM helps spark conversations about accessibility, inclusion, and reducing barriers to meaningful employment for people with disabilities, including individuals living with brain injuries.💡💜

Thank you to all participating school boards, staff, students, and community members who helped make concussion awareness more visible across Ontario.
