Flu vaccine could help sleep disorder sufferers
The sleep condition narcolepsy could be prevented with a flu vaccine, researchers have discovered. Scientists in China have found those vulnerable to the condition, which causes sufferers to fall asleep unexpectedly, can be protected by a mild flu vaccine.
