So this week has been shot for me because I've been recovering from the cold that has seemed to take everyone. It has left no person I know untouched. But since I've been sick, I haven't even cracked open a book. When I'm sick, even just a little, the idea of concentrating on words makes me feel even worse. I'm not sure if I'm worried I'll get a headache or make myself too tired but I can never convince myself to try.
So I want to know if you read when you are sick and if so, any tips?
I guess I could try audiobooks. When I'm sick I like to hear people talk or watch t.v. or listen to music but I don't like to focus very hard. Wonder if audio books would work for me.
Please sound off!
I love this question, because like you I had the same dreadful cold this week. In response to your question I'd say it depends on how sick I am. The first two days of this cold I couldn't have read if I tried, but yesterday I surrounded myself with pillows and fluids on the nightstand and read for between naps. Although I will say I had a hard time concentrating but I'm not sure if that was from the cold or the book.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am sick I watch TV... I just don't want to read while I am miserable!!!
ReplyDeleteI will depends on how sick i'm, if i have an headache no reading if it's just i can't go out and i'm tired i can read a little but i won't read book for review ( because i perfer to be in top condition for those) and i will pick a book i want to read but that i'm not completely fan over it that way i can stop when needed without feeling guilty and i won't over tax myself
ReplyDeleteI don't read when I'm sick. I can usually only make it a few pages before my eyes droop. Reading makes me tired, and when I'm sick I'm already super fatigued. Usually, I'll have a marathon of one of my favorite tv shows. That usually cheers me up. Plus, since I've already seen it, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything if I end up falling asleep. I was sick about a month ago and ended up getting through the first two seasons of Eureka. Love that show!
