Everybody needs a time out once in a while, but taking too many can lead to some big problems. Like not having the time to do the things needed. Schoolwork, for example. If you're ill, take the incentive to go and get the work so you're not so behind that you sit there in your classes 5 pages behind your classmates. Try and stay in time with the projects and, if possible avoid missing big things that would go towards your grade.
I've been ill alot lately. My teachers now know to hand me the work needed for to do at home. They knew I'm taking the work home and actually doing it to keep up. Because even though my headaches, and the pain and the fainting is getting in the way, I've learnt that, although I'm ill, when I don't feel like utter tripe, I can get a few pages in here and a couple of maths equations, and by the end of the day I can get alot done.
Basically, what I'm saying is.. Don't not do so much now that you end up without your alloted time to have fun!
