Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Determine the randomness of adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH and cortisol secretion using approximate entropy in patients who have sustained a head injury

II Determine the correlation between randomness of ACTH and cortisol secretion and stages of sleep in these patients
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to type of injury closed head injury due to trauma vs vascular accidents Patients are admitted two times for overnight assessment

Admission 1 Patients receive cosyntropin IV Blood is drawn at 30 and 60 minutes after IV infusion Patients receive oral metyrapone before sleep A sham sleep study is conducted through the night and patients blood is drawn in the morning

Admission 2 At least 2 weeks after admission 1 patients return for an overnight admission Starting in the evening blood is drawn every 15 minutes for 12 hours A sleep study is conducted through the night
