From what I hear in the news, your having caught this flu virus probably has little to do with your sleep problems. A LOT of people are getting the flu.
When I was a kid, in 1968, I missed a month of school because of what was dubbed "Hong Kong Flu". And, I have had the flu a few times in my adult life and, YES it feels like total HELL. Everything hurts and feels awful. And it wears you out. I remember that after the acute symptoms went away, my energy did not return for a long while.
Once the flu shot became availble, I started getting it every year because I NEVER want to get the flu again.
Remember to drink enough fluid, so you don't get dehydrated. If it is hard to drink, try ice cubes or flavored popsicles--at least you get a bit of water into your body.
Take good care of yourself.
