Your body is fighting alien invaders here, and your brain is like, "We need to go to work. And do laundry. And then I could - what do you mean I should just lie down? I'm bored!" And then you try and read a book and you can't concentrate on it because you can't focus on anything.
Because the rest of you is BUSY. We are fighting alien invaders here, what do you mean you're bored? No, you don't get to borrow processing power, there are aliens! And you're just like yeah, whatever and throwing acetaminophen at the defending forces.
