Following recent research into this, it looks as though this may not be the case after all. However, anyone losing consciousness after a blow to the head should still seek medical attention immediately and follow the advice given by the doctor. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

They could be bleeding in their brain, or something else that you dont know, and if they go to sleep it will mostly likely make it worse.
Thats about all i know.
Which is sad concedering my step-mom is a neurosurgeon.
