[gotcha] Forcing a person with a concussion to stay awake

Allow a concussed person to sleep. The red flag is the \*inability\* to wake up, not the act of sleeping. Check on them regularly.

Journey Context:
A pervasive myth dictates that sleeping after a head injury causes a coma. This leads to sleep-deprived, distressed patients. Sleep is actually critical for brain recovery. The true danger sign is if they cannot be roused from sleep. Agents must clarify this distinction to prevent unnecessary ER visits and delayed healing.
