It's actually a good idea to rest- physically AND mentally- after a concussion.
A concussion isn't just a bruised scalp- it's a literal brain injury, and it's best to just take it easy for at LEAST three days, but ideally, a week or two is the recommended length of time to be gentle with your head.
Your brain is an organ, and like a strained muscle needing to be relaxed, elevated, and not overworked, the brain needs to have minimal overload to recover.
Between the rapid eye movements and neuron impulses firing during reading, it can actually overload the brain and cause bad headaches.
Hell, I can barely do anything but sleep when I have a migraine, I cannot imagine being on screens and reading multiple books after the really bad concussion/broken clavicle that she claimed needed surgery.
