Avoid heavy dramas. Go for long-running sitcoms ( The Office , Brooklyn Nine-Nine ) or "comfort" reality shows that he can drift in and out of if he naps.
If he’s a gamer, suggest "cozy" or turn-based games like Stardew Valley or Civilization . They don't require the fast reflexes that can be draining when you're sick. 3. Food & Drink: The "Small Wins"
Clear a nightstand or set up a tray with the essentials: a large water bottle, tissues, lip balm, and a remote/controller organizer.
Use "low-blue" lighting in the evening to help him sleep, and crack a window for 10 minutes a day to get fresh air in the room (it makes a huge difference in mood).
Large plates can be intimidating. Offer small, frequent "snack plates" (crackers, fruit, cheese, toast) rather than three big meals.
