Insufficient sleep in the week before getting a flu shot can lead to the production of less than 50% of the normal antibody response -- a reaction that would render the flu shot largely ineffective, according to a sleep specialist

It turns out that sleep may be vital to arm us in the fight against influenza and Covid-19.Medical professionals are recommending that people make sure to get their flu shots this year, in part because some Covid-19 and flu symptoms are similar. A flu shot reduces the likelihood that your symptoms are from the flu.

"We're supposed to get between seven and 10 hours of sleep each night, depending on age. A variety of health conditions -- including mood swings, paranoia, depression, high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, weight gain and lower libido --- have been linked to lack of sleep in studies. It's also linked to a higher risk of some cancers, dementia, diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular disease.

And I bet the anxiety of knowing you need more sleep, makes it worse.

Uhm some fact checking on this? Medscape

'The flu shot is already largely ineffective.' -Science (

3:40am insomnia. Flu shot scheduled 12:15pm. Yikes!

This dude's hair though

He look sleepy

Ok so there's no point then.

Speak these 5 things every morning: 1. I will be at my best. 2. I will do what it takes. 3. I will win this day. 4. I will serve others. 5. I am grateful for another chance.

Influenza is gone...

Do you seriously expect us to pay this propagandist any attention?

😨😰😱I haven’t slept well in months

He has a great TED Talk! I highly recommend it.

Well I guess no flu shot for this insomniac.

? Good grief!! RT : Insufficient sleep in the week before getting a flu shot can lead to the production of less than 50% of the normal antibody response -- a reaction that would render the flu shot largely ineffective, according to a sleep specialist

So vaccines aren't problem not enough sleep is🤣🤣🤣

It does not work. I got sick from the flu shot.

Noowww you tell me

Just the week sleep issues start when I had flu shot. Darn!

Then it would be no need to get it since most people don’t get enough sleep anyway.

This sounds like hedging their bets. If you don't get sick - it worked!! If you do - it's your own fault, not ours!!

who's getting enough sleep in 2020

If you actually take the flu shot, you are permanently asleep already.

Oh great now they tell me! Even with a sleeping pill I manage maybe 5 hrs.

Now you tell us.

Pls read '' Why we sleep'' by Matthew Walker

Thanks for telling me the week after my shot lol

Well this old lady won’t bother then.

If someone gets insufficient sleep for a week, he will turn into a zombie, let alone less antibodies.

China communist media CNN. No wonder all you say is lies. Chinese money influence your media to win over the democratic election by splurging your FAKE NEWS

Trumpies think science, much like regular exercise, is fake news.

dems introduce 5 trillion bill to give the entire world a week vacation prior to getting vaccine so people can sleep.

2020 was 💩. U deserve to LOL. 😆FREE LAUGHS🤣 I just started standup and want ur OPINION.Please SUBSCRIBE if u LIKE.

Really? Maybe the flu shot is not effective enough.... Some of us work 80 hours a week......

Some Americans fear that the COVID-19 vaccine is bad to get. But according to this research, it is not;

Very interesting!

how about smoking weed crack snorting sh==

Hmmm...wonder how this applies to Covid

Go to the Fox News Web Site to read all about Hunter Biden’s laptop contents and decide for yourself. A massive cover up is occurring by all DEM lead media outlets! Once you’ve reviewed this information you’ll need to decide if you really want the Biden’s running our country!

Good advice Didn't know that

As a parent of toddlers who never gets sleep... crap.

Now you tell me...

Got a flu shot 30years ago and got sick the next day and of course I was much younger never got one since....thinking about trying it again but with that past experience I’m extremely perplex.

骗子媒体

Yeah, and my glasses don't work if I don't get enough sleep.

Well, shit. I'm screwed then. Wth

BS !

Seems like everyone is getting in on this It’s hard to decyphy fact or fiction SAD VERY SAD

Dude must be the dream reamer

Getting insufficient sleep before election day can lead to you voting democrat.

Interesting.

This guy just wants us to sleep 20 hours a day and I’m all for it tbh

ChrisCuomo Did Trump actually momentarily mistake Biden for the My Pillow Guy on Fox News during the presidential debate when he said that Biden has been selling pillows and towels on tv while he was making big decisions? Is Trump losing his mind? Is that why he lies constantly?

ChrisCuomo Welp. Got my flu shot a month ago when my son was 10 weeks. In those 10 weeks I prob got 2 hours a day max. I’m up to 3 or 4... woohoo! sendhelp

And how many years have they given flu shots without this vital piece of information? Makes you think twice about the covid vaccine... in 20 years time they’ll find it sterilises you

SLEEP? HAHA what does that feel like. Said everyone since March

I know someone who was partially paralyzed from the flu shot. I think I will build and trust my intelligent immune system to take care of pathogens.

This has not been verfied Only take medical advice from you Doctor, not from tv shows. SaturdayThoughts SaturdayMorning CollegeFootball

Now you tell me..... shoulda waited til 11/4.

Who thinks Bitcoin is going to get a huge weekend Pump? All the nerds 🤓 are getting 💰 rich and telling their buddies 'I told you so!!!' The PayPal adoption is cranking it. GO BITCOIN!!

None of us with a brain cell can sleep with this idiot in our White House. I just got my shot yesterday, and haven’t slept more than 4 hrs. In years.

Glad to see nobody was caught master bating on this call. How do you not fire Toobin? Such a disgrace.

Because we can 1) easily control how well we sleep and 2) reschedule clinic appointments at the drop off a hat

Lol.... When are you quoting a fashion expert that not using enough makeup during shot can leave vaccine useless

sleepdiplomat how would someone with a sleep disorder like sleep apnea be affected if they weren't treated the week prior during sleep (no cpap etc)? Same 50% less effective results even if they 'slept' those hours?

Liz Harrington ate your lunch

That guy is bizarre looking. Is that from a bad flu shot reaction?

LOL. I’m fucked RicardoSuave21

Wish I had known this before I got my flu shot this year 😬

Of course but most flu drugs contain anxiety and stress medication

That means we’re all doomed. I doubt anyone has slept properly for the past 4 years. Maybe Putin and MBS but apart from them nobody.

Well, I have had insomnia for 35 years. This is just fucking great.

Makes sense. The immune system does it’s work while we sleep. No sleep, no work

You have to be joking.

so we’ll just all wait until after the election huh?

Too late...

I've not slept in 4.5 years and got a flu shot last Sunday. I'm so screwed.

Never, not EVER was that a ‘suggestion/recommendation’ to anyone anywhere since the invention of the flu shot. To be clear: it wouldn’t hurt but it also won’t make ANY difference regarding effectiveness🤨 “50% less effective”. Try running that past an actual PhD😡

I guess I can't take it until after the election and Trump has been arrested, no way I'm getting much sleep until then.

Can we get you to please talk about NigeriaIsBleeding 💔💔💔💔💔

Well I'm screwed then. I haven't had a full night's sleep since Trump was elected.

oops

How about no flu shot 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can’t believe you’re reporting this. It is clearly the Russians behind this research and people getting lack of sleep. You should have censored this story clearly..
