Optimizing Sleep For Flu/Vaccination Shots

By getting four to six hours of sleep a night in the week before your flu (vaccination) shots means that you will produce less than half of the normal antibody response required, while seven or more hours of sleep consistently returns a powerful and comprehensive immunization response.

The goal would be to unite health-care providers and hospitals with real-time updates on an individual’s sleep, week to week. Through notifications, the software will identify the optimal time for when an individual should get their flu shot to maximize vaccination success.

Not only will this markedly improve an individual’s immunity but also that of the community, through developing more effective “herd immune benefits.”
