Without knowing if Jack is showing other symptoms of illness, it is hard to tell what is going on. Listless behavior, low energy, sleeping all the time and not eating or drinking as much are all very vague symptoms of illness and should be checked out by a vet to find the underlying causes. Infections, illness, injuries, parasites, nutritional issues, etc can all be possible causes. Keeping him warm and quiet, as well as providing easy access to food and water may help. If he is in a very loud or high-stress area, moving him somewhere quieter may also help him to relax and feel better, however if he continues to act unwell or doesn't perk back up, a vet exam is best.
