I'm not sure what the 'less sleep/mild cold' one is trying to say but it did make me realize something about myself. When I'm sick, but not super sick, I do find it very peaceful. It makes me okay with laying on the couch watching stuff all day long whereas if I were healthy I'd feel anxious about wasting my time.

I think that might be what it's trying to say except for the fact that that is NOT the case when I'm running low on sleep.

I have a similar experience when I'm sick. I usually feel more calm and it seems easier to cook or read.

Same for me, my internal (probably wrong) explanation for this has been that it's quite similar to having something going on (in this case, the recovery from sickness) so that it's a bit easier for the brain to not actively worry and be useless.

I don't know if what I wrote makes sense, I'm not sick right now
