that's how I always looked at it.
If you look at it from whatever angle, there must be at least a small benefit of laying in bed and resting when compared to working, playing sports or w/e.

It's possible to be sick but with symptoms so mild you don't notice right? It's very common for any infection in general to have an "incubation period" where you don't have any symptoms. Sometimes the infection can be contagious during this period as well. I think the incubation period for a cold is a few hours. Should be easy enough to look it up if you're curious. | ||

On that note, I've found that sometimes the worst thing I can do when I'm sick is to take Tylenol or anything to treat the symptoms. Because once the medication wears off, I'm almost guaranteed to end up feeling a lot worse than before. I think there are two reasons for this: 1. some of the symptoms it relieves are actually part of the body's mechanism for fighitng the infections, and 2. once the symptoms are gone I become much more active instead of just resting and taking it easy. | ||

Well I think idealing you're only taking medication if you can't sleep. Even then, medication in general always has adverse effects. Speaking of which, my brother offered me the last dose of his liquid codine which he had for his wisdom teeth or something (long since recovered, obviously). I refused it but then he just left it on my table and now I'm tempted. | ||

What I am doing right now, is sleeping nonstop and drinking warm milk, which btw is totally disgusting, and watching movies that I always watch when I am sick (Kill Bill -- don't judge). But I totally understand what you mean about being warm too, because that's pretty much why cold season is in the winter. I don't think you'll come across any legit study saying staying inside at home while sick is useless. I mean, colds have been around for ages, and no one has come up with any good theory on how to get rid of it other than waiting it out, right? | ||
