Best Things to Do While Home Sick

Cold and flu symptoms can keep you from getting a good night's rest when you need it.
Be lazy. Avoid doing anything that requires a lot of energy. Stay at home for a day or two and sit and stay down. Sit on the sofa, uncurl and watch a movie or the news. Or go online and watch videos on YouTube or update your status on Facebook. Lie on the couch or in your bed and read a book. Find a way that you can stay entertained while sitting or lying down. Take naps. Although you may have trouble sleeping regularly, when you're sick you tend to get tired more often. In the middle of the day, whenever you feel tired, have a warm cup of milk, get in bed and catch up on your beauty sleep. When you wake up you'll probably feel more refreshed than before.
Don't let anybody bother you when you're sleeping or relaxing.
Keep all of your lights off if you are trying to rest.

For me, there is no better way to forget you're sick than to enter dreamland, and pretend you're not, at least for a little while.

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME, LOLZ - SmoothCriminal

I like sleeping especially on school days.�"�

I would always play video games because it gets my mined of of being sick

I believe that video games are very beneficial to a person if they are sick... For example, they can get your mind off of your pain (not advised if your head hurts), and they also give you a source of entertainment in which does not require much physical movement.

Halo 4. All you need.

I should start doing that - bjinmaro64

Hey, it releases dopamine into the brain, which is relaxing and can lead to sleep, why wouldn't you do it?

You know you've been wanting to do it and now you have time, so go for it!

Masturbating always makes me feel better!

Lol this option is weird - bjinmaro64

I'm nine and bubble baths are fun its like sleeping in a warm blanket but with bubbles and water! I always but my swimming Ariel doll and my MY LITTLE PONIES its really fun

I know it doesn't, but I always feel like a bath makes me feel better, at least for a little while. I guess if you have a head cold the steam might be good for your sinuses.

When I'm sick, I love to take the ultimate relaxing bubble bath. It opens my sinuses, well the heat does. It makes me feel better, especially when I have a cold.

So relaxing I recommend this and movie marathons and reading and even school work so you don't get behind for movies I reccomend:
The hunger games, Moana, pants on fire, Despicible Me, and Star wars

Making little animals from foam, felt and pipe cleaner (or "chenile stem" I should say) is a lot of fun! Also if you can sew and have a sewing machine that is a lot of fun too.

Sometimes there's a small craft you can do that you enjoy on your lap, or whilst relaxing. knitting, drawing, making jewelry... Things that get pushed by the wayside when "regular life" is around, being all demanding.

I think crafts are a great way to get your spirits high!

It takes your mind off things and onto what u r making

Love Harry Potter, but haven't seen them all in a really long time, put em in? Terminator 1 - Salvation? Go for it. It's your day, and if you fall asleep while watching movies, that's ok too.

When I'm sick like when I have a cold I grab a Walmart bag, tissues, a nice big glass of sprite, slippers, and watch Harry potter, Merlin (thank you bbc), or maybe a classic Disney movie that will make you think aw how cute

Movies are the best thing to do when you are sick! Relax on the couch drink ginger ale and eat crackers!

Watch a movie series - PeeledBanana

You're sick, after all, remember?

I love doing this! I mean, they don't listen to me most of the time, but it's entertaining, therefore it's worth it... You know?

That's cool but what I like to do is make up some stupid idea and make them listen to it

I like it but I only do it when I'm sick

They always sit next to you and they never leave your side. Pets also know when your sick so they already come over to sit next to you.

My pet, Clover is so cute and when I snuggle with him for awhile and pet him for at least 1 hour when I get up he follows me.

When I'm sick my cat and dog lay next to me. It makes me feel better...

It helped me a lot to lay with my lab

Another thing that is perfect to do while you are sick, that you might not be able to enjoy as much of when life is in full swing.

When I'm sick and have nothing active to do, there's no greater time for the geek within to live vicariously through the characters I read of.

Reading a little on the stuff the teacher is talking about in the classes you miss while staying home is a grear way to stay updated, motivating myself to do it.. Is something else

I hate reading even if I'm good at it - bjinmaro64

I don't care if I have a cold, or the flu, or food poisoning, nothing feels better, or tastes better than those plain, stupid crackers. I call them sick crackers. Can't eat them 360 days a year, but those 4-5 or so days I'm sick, I'm all over that.

That's the same thing my mom does and I tell her that why I have to eat them can't I eat something else

I eat them all the time whether I'm sick or not, these are like the God of crackers

Yah man crackerz taste good when ya sick ya know

I have just done it! A little frustrating at first because my blanket didn't stay in place but I made it work and now in the corner of my room I have a place with loads of pillows and soft stuff and I'm sitting in it right now watching YouTube because YouTube makes me feel better! Except when I have a headache...

Not aloud to make a fort unless friends are over because I will never clean it up.

I have not done this yet but I have a felling it will be fun also making the fort add some stuffed animals and maybe a pet if you have one

Nah, I'll watch T.V. instead - PeeledBanana

yah that always makes me feel better

Preferably with Saltine crackers.

I like to drink some soup it makes me feel better

No matter how sick you are chicken broth always helps

Whether it's just because it's your guilty pleasure, you want to fall asleep but need something to do it to, or there's nothing on, sometimes watching bad tv is cathartic.

Jeremy kyle for 3 days straight.

I'm sick right now, and I have no idea why I would do this. - RalphBob

No one should ever watch bad T.V.

Curl up on the couch with a good book and spend the day reading a good book and drinking tea.

I do this even when I'm not sick because I get bored a lot

I do this all the time especially today since I'm sick

I'm doing that right now as a matter of fact

There cute cuddly and in my opinion is just think stuffed animals re relaxing when I'm sick for those reasons you should lay down with. Lots of plush animal

For the person two quotes down, you do whatever you would like! Your dad sounds very insecure. Pity him, do what helps you!

Yep I have like tons of stuffed animals and they are so soft and warm I snuggle with them on rainy and cold days

If you love flapjacks then go to santa's workshop

My birthday may be 6 months away, but when I looked up stuff for my birthday, I felt healthy again. I also found a ton of good toys! It really works!

I really like looking up stuff for my Birthday, Easter and Christmas. Whoever wrote this thank-you

What if your not allowed to look at things for Christmas until it is like December I know I'm not allowed

I always do this but I always forget about the things and struggle to find things on the holiday lol

What if your house is too small for friends to come round or what if your sick and it is school or just know one will play with you...i poorly and my family won't play a bored game with me so I doubt people will play with you

I'm an only child! Thanks, but what if there's no one around? Any other Ideas?

I wouldn't like to get my friends sick

If you are sick why would you be with friends? - riri_lol

Sewing is fine just as long as you don't stab yourself with the needle laugh out loud

Yay sewing is a good way to eat your way out of a popcorn castle it also is a very fast way to make turtle friends

This is a long process because it isn't easy to sew as I know when I first started.. It would take hours and hours and probably days to sew with your hand and fabric let alone if u have a sewing machine, that takes hours too as I know from experience.. The easiest thing I would say is to make a scrunchie but your gonna need elastics and fabrics so

I love sewing I sew dresses and pillow cases and I'm only 10😍😍😍� - 😋

I love making origami it is always so fun!

Origami is a great way to pass the time. If you don't have an inkling on how to make origami, look it up on the net!
If you do not Have Origami paper there are some origami pieces that you can do with regular printer paper

Yah origami tastes yummy and is especially explosive

YES
