Being sick is never fun. You’re so weak you can’t even get out of bed. And staying under the covers in your room can get boring after a couple of days. But don’t worry – there are plenty of ways to keep you busy. Here are four fun activities to help you pass the time.
Online Gaming/Casinos
For those looking for something a bit more exciting and action-packed you could try online gaming. You can play these on either your computer or your SmartPhone, and they’ll keep you entertained all day long. The best gaming opportunities are no doubt online Poker, Blackjack, Roulette and the slots.
Most online casino sites are safe to play, as long as you find a reputable operator. Read reviews to find the best online casinos in Canada, the US or Europe, so you know you can have peace of mind about where you’re spending you’re time—and money.
Betting minimums online tend to be a lot smaller than at physical casinos, so you usually don’t have to risk too much money to get started. You can also bet on several spots at a time, and the rounds usually go much faster online.
Watch TV
The number one go-to activity for those sick days is watching TV. It’s really the perfect opportunity to catch up on the shows you’re normally too busy to watch. So choose a binge-worthy series and indulge in a TV marathon. With platforms like Netflix, the options are really endless.
If you’re feeling a bit nostalgic, you can also opt for reruns of your favourite classic movies. There’s nothing like an old childhood film to make you feel all warm inside. Or you can look for movies you’ve been meaning to watch for some time.
Do Crafts Work
If you’ve been in front of a screen for too long, you might want to take a break. Try putting your hands and imagination to work by dabbling in arts and crafts. You could string beads into a bracelet or make a necklace, even if you don’t feel like sitting upright at a table. Use these as future Christmas or birthday gifts, saving you time and money in the future.
Why not try painting by numbers? There’s so many kits you can buy that give you all the materials you need. If you know how to knit, make a scarf or beanie. Once again, these can become gifts later in the year.
Play Games
There’s a number of one-person games you could play to keep your mind sharp. For word game addicts you could do crossword puzzles, word searches or even Sudoku. These days, you can also play games online, like Solitaire. Don’t worry! Simply go for multiplayer games if you get tired of playing on your own. Try games like Scrabble, Quadplex or Words With Friends.
Final Thoughts
While it’s never nice to feel sick, make the most of your time in bed. You don’t often get the opportunity to lie around and veg out, so make it count. Plus, with these tips, lying has never been this much fun.
