How soon after hitting your head can you go to sleep?!
Question: I was sitting on the couch and my 21month old daughter knocked a heavy statue on my head. Boy did it hurt. It was funny but omg do I have one heck of a head ache?! As soon as it hit me she leaned over and gave me a kiss on my "boo boo" lol. There is a bump and its tender when I touch it. I was just wondering how soon will I be safe to go to sleep?? It just happened like 30 minutes ago. Thanks!

oach I would wait for about 4 hours. last time I had a concussion (swim staight into a wall, I can't remember if I pass out or not) my mom made me stay up for 4 hours then woke me up every 2 hours after that. I don't think it serious. your going to have a headache for a while. you'll be fine.
You should be okay, as you did not pass out
If I get hit in the head hard enough I will go to sleep immediately. :)
It's safe so long as you don't have a concussion..
The only time you have to worry about going to sleep after a head injury is if you lost consciousness. About 20 minutes with an icepack to the area should do you fine!
Kids....gotta love em!!! lol
You may have a concussion. I would call an emergency center and ask. Im pretty sure it is 24 hours. I know that is a long time but better safe than sorry.
if you didn't pass out, you didn't get enough damage to hurt your brain. a bruised brain = concussion = don't sleep.
you'll be fine, just ice it!
Ouch that would of heart ..
first of all put the statue in a safer place .
I think like every body else you will be OK .
If you want to be sure stand in front t of a mirror with a torch ,and shine it into your pupil . If it retratcts normally you are not concussed.
A bit of ice on the bump might help to .
Or a frozen pack of vegetables is just as good.
