Moreover, a fan explained why they thought Miller “should fall asleep while initially concussed because you could fall into a coma,” to which she brought more clarity with right advice. She tweeted, “No ur correct, but doctors normally like you to stay awake because ppl have passed away just falling asleep cuz they can go brain dead if it’s that’s severe. Just depends.”
