While getting sick is the worst thing imaginable for a lot of people, apparently there are some folks who actually don’t mind it at all.

A new poll finds…

• 29% of Americans are happy to get sick occasionally because it gives them a rest from their day-to-day lives and tasks.
• 40% say being sick gives them time to focus on themselves, and also gives them permission to slow down.

And apparently some people think there are a lot of perks that come with being sick, including:

• Catching up on sleep (39%)
• Can just lie around all day (34%)
• Binging TV shows/movies (26%)
• Don’t have to go to work (24%)
• Getting some ‘me time’ (23%)
