I know exactly what you mean. Being raised by old fashioned parents, "If you're well enough to be watching TV/ on the computer/etc., you're well enough to go to school/work. We didn't have that liberty to feel bad and do nothing unless we couldn't stand up straight." I still hear it from time to time, but it's not always something that requires sleeping 24/7 if it's something as simple as a cold or sore throat... plus, I'd rather stay the heck away from other people and not keep the stuff going around until it comes on me back again stronger than before. Plus, laying down and doing nothing when you're not sleepy tends to make you feel worse anyways.
