Yep...don't mess with head injuries.

Rule of thumb--do not take a nap after a head injury. If you have to rest, do so with people around so they can make sure you don't fall asleep/check on you.

It is true. You may not wake up. I just heard about a recent death of a woman I knew who banged her head. She was under a glass coffee table picking something up--she came up too fast. Anyway, after she banged her head, she and told a friend she was going to lie down--she never woke up. Chilling.

My recent head bang was not cycling related, but this is also a true story. I was looking at a picture of this gorgeous guy on the cover of a men's fitness mag, came up too fast and hit the wall...
