I discovered medicine naps as a child, and worked out caffeine naps when I got older.

Staying home if you’re sick is best, but if you have to get up and do something during the day, setting your alarm early, and taking whatever OTC medication you planned to manage your system, then going back to sleep for at least a half hour, means that the second time you wake up you don’t feel like you’ve been hit by a truck. It’s easier to get your ass out of bed and get ready for the day.
