Zombie nation: Third of adults walking around in concussion-like daze due to stress, lack of sleep<\/h1>\n

by Study Finds<\/p>\n

COLUMBUS, Ohio \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Here\u2019s a pretty good reason to make sure you\u2019re getting enough rest and relaxation in your life. More than a third of people are walking around with the same symptoms as concussion due to stress and lack of sleep, suggests a new study.<\/p>\n

A survey of more than 31,000 people shows that insufficient sleep, mental health problems, and stress were the causes of a whole host of symptoms doctors are used to seeing in head injury patients. Symptoms of what doctors call post-concussion syndrome (PCS) range from persistent headaches, dizziness and anxiety, to insomnia and\u00a0loss of concentration<\/a>\u00a0and memory.<\/p>\n

While 27 percent of people report having several of these symptoms, between one-half and three-quarters say they experience at least one. The most common symptoms are fatigue, low energy and drowsiness. Yet despite their findings, researchers believe the number in the general population could be much higher.<\/p>\n

The study, funded by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the US military, was designed to improve care for\u00a0athletes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0soldiers<\/a>\u00a0who suffered concussions. A total of 2,039 military service academy cadets and 18,548 student athletes were surveyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe numbers were high, and were consistent with previous research in this area, but it is quite shocking,\u201d says study lead author Dr. Jaclyn Caccese, assistant professor in The Ohio State University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, in a\u00a0statement.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThese are elite athletes who are physically fit, and they are experiencing that many symptoms commonly reported following concussion. So looking across the general population, they\u2019d probably have even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is it a concussion, or something else?<\/h3>\n

Researchers hope their results will help doctors figure out which symptoms are due to\u00a0head injuries<\/a>\u00a0and which had other causes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a patient comes into a clinic and they are a month or more out from their most recent concussion, we need to know what symptoms they were experiencing before their concussion to know if their symptoms are attributable to their concussion or something else,\u201d adds Caccese. \u201cThen we can start treating the concussion-related symptoms to hopefully help people recover more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

For both military cadets and athletes,\u00a0sleep problems<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 particularly insufficient sleep the night before the test \u2014 and mental health problems had the strongest links to concussion-like daze effects. Meanwhile,\u00a0struggling academically<\/a>, migraines,\u00a0ADHD<\/a>, and depression also contributed to PCS symptoms.<\/p>\n

While some symptoms like dizziness or sensitivity to light are closely connected to concussion, others, including fatigue, drowsiness and even headaches, can be linked to a variety of causes, leaving doctors puzzle\u2013solving when confronted with a new patient.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps we can create a battery of symptoms more specific to concussion,\u201d suggests Caccese. \u201cThis hopefully not only shows clinicians that we need to consider how people would have presented before injury, but also provides some normative data so they can interpret other patients. We really don\u2019t know a lot about why people have persistent symptoms, and it seems to be very variable. So we\u2019re trying to understand this better to help predict who will have a prolonged recovery, and who will not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study was conducted by the Concussion Assessment, Research and Education (CARE) Consortium. It\u2019s published in the journal\u00a0Sports Science<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
