Best rest?

This might sound a bit of a silly question! My hubbie is super-low on energy at the moment. He never has much, but these last few days it’s been lower than ever and absolutely everything is an effort. He is taking antibiotics (again) for an infection in his kidney so maybe the infection and/or the extra medication is affecting him. He needs lots of rest and sleeps on-and-off through the day. He doesn’t like going to bed early, we usually turn in about midnight, but I have been trying for 11pm, just so he gets more sleep at night. During the day, he sleeps in his armchair in the kitchen and says he likes to be near me (the kitchen is where I spend most of my time!) and in the evening on the sofa in the lounge. He’s never liked going to bed during the day (whereas I love a 30-minute lying-down siesta after lunch), but I’m wondering if sleeping in bed is actually more restorative than sleeping upright? It would be great if he had a bit more energy at least for part of the day. I’m always looking for ways to “fix” things though I know really that there’s not much can fix where we’re at now, but maybe just tweak things a bit….. Would welcome any suggestions!
