Brief Answer:
You can safely go to sleep.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this fall. have reviewed your symptoms and there are no immediate red flags such as loss of consciousness, severe headache or poor sense of orientation that should keep me worried. I will suggest that you take tylenol for pains and feel safe going to bed. Update me on how you are feeling as soon as you wake up for more directives.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
