Rest-Activity Cycle Disturbances in the Acute Phase of Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Conclusions. Patients with acute moderate/severe TBI had an altered rest-activity cycle, probably reflecting severe fragmentation of sleep and wake episodes, which globally improved over time. A faster return to rest-activity cycle consolidation may predict enhanced brain recovery.
