When you get a bruise from a car accident you cant go to sleep?
This statement is not true. A bruise is a contusion, which is a fancy word for an injury that causes capillaries to leak blood which causes a bruise. You might be thinking of the word concussion, which is a severe head injury, but without a broken skull. After a head injury or concussion, you should stay awake or have someone check on you every hour and wake you up. The reason is a concussion can cause someone to become unconscious or even die from the brain injury.
