When you get a concussion and it’s dangerous to go to sleep, what do doctors do to cure it?

Okay so I just whacked the back of my head on the underside of a bunk bed and then started to think about concussion.

I’ve heard horror stories of people banging their head, going to sleep and never waking up again.

What would doctors do? Do they just not let you sleep?

I was hospitalized for a concussion about thirty years ago. They kept me from sleeping and I remember the nurse telling me it was because I’d vomited due to the concussion and there’s a possibility of vomiting in your sleep, not waking up, and being suffocated by your own vomit.
