Your immune system is fighting a microscopic war, and you’re the general. Would you send a general into battle without sleep? No. You’d give them a blanket, a bowl of bland soup, and strict orders to stay horizontal. Lie down, binge that show you’ve been saving, and let your body do its thing.
I know, I know—you’re probably worried about work. But trust me, your boss doesn’t want you at the office right now. One sneeze, one wrong move, and you could become the reason for a company-wide “biohazard” email. Take the day off. Your dignity will thank you.
Pro tip: Position yourself near a bathroom with a good book and a phone charger. This is not the time for long walks or gardening. It’s a “floor yoga with your face on the cool tile” kind of day.
