I tend to either play games, if I am able to do so, or to just browse YouTube and find something I can watch for extended periods of time. Sometimes I read books, when I am up to it, but that really depends on how bad it is.
I ... suppose this is all pretty usual, but it worked well for me so far.

Depends on how sick I am really. There are times when I'm so ill, i don't even have the energy/concentration levels for video games or books and all I can literally do is lay in bed and rest. A hot bath or shower always helps me relax and warm up and feel better. Or I would just turn Nickelodeon on and lay on the couch. I might doze off, or I might watch it and "distract myself" as you say.

It all depends on how sick I am. If Im feeling aboslutely awful I tend to sleep more than I do things. But if Im not too sick I tend to play a lot of video games, or I watch a bunch of movies or shows that I need to catch up on. But it is a must that if Im home sick, or even for a snow day, I have to watch The Price is Right and some Golden Girls

I watch movies and I try to play video games, if it's not too bad. Basically just do what you'd normally do.

I normally just read, play video games, watch T.V, or if I'm feeling really sick, just sleep and drink nice warm drinks.

If I'm mildly sick, like a cold, I'll cuddle up on the couch with a blanket and hot water bottle, cup of tea, and watch my fav movies or read my Kindle. Sometimes it's nice to chat on the phone to a friend or my Mum or sister, having a bit of a laugh and a catch up is nice and distracting tbh. I know it's obvious, but if I'm properly sick, then I stay in bed and sleep as much as possible, or put some quiet music or audio book on in the background. Sleep is really the only thing that helps me get better when I'm poorly, and I like sleeping so it generally works out well.
Besides from sleeping, take painkillers and drink hot drinks. Then I'll chill out and watch something on my laptop or play games. I usually still go on skype with friends though because sometimes I get too bored. Not really the best advice, hehe.

Sleep, mostly. Either that or I eat some sweets, clear soda, and read some comic books. That's what I usually do, anyways. I'm not sick a lot, though.

Video Games and internet are best medicine.
I have a chronic illness so I'm used to being sick a lot. Sometimes it's so bad that I can't sit up so I can't really play games or go on the internet. I have a kindle fire, so I lay on my side and use that to read or watch Netflix. If I'm really tired but I can't sleep I listen to podcasts on iTunes.

I just play video games the whole day :3
The best video games to play are websites like TBT or games like Animal Crossing, Tomodachi Life, Nintendogs....etc. basically relaxing games. Don't pick something like a shooter lol. Or at least that's just me

As I have emet, I 'get sick' often. However I usually just:
-listen to kimya dawson
-sip ginger ale/watered down coke
-close my eyes and focus on breathing (which either makes me not feel as ill or makes me so relaxed i end up sleeping)
