No, it is usually not dangerous to sleep in the hours following a concussion, even if the accident occurs during the day. It is safe to let the person sleep if they are awake, alert, and without serious symptoms before resting. The old recommendation to keep the patient awake no longer applies routinely.
If in doubt, the person should be checked once the first time after the injury. The incident should be reported to your GP. Call the emergency room or 113 (112) if there is worsening such as increasing headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, convulsions or reduced consciousness.
