Other then the fact that you won't be as energetic, and you may become very bored, there are not a lot of disadvantages to sleeping when it comes to being ill with the flu. When your body is fighting a virus, the best possible thing for you is to be resting or sleeping so that your healthy blood cells can kick the bad blood cells butts and fight the infection. Being asleep helps this because then your body can aim 100 percent of it's energy towards fighting the infection instead of trying to say, digest food or move your muscles to walk around or even to concentrate on a phone or book.
