Ama-50% wabantu alala cishe amahora ayi-7 ebusuku, okushiya isikhathi esanele samaphupho noma amaphupho amabi okulandelana komunye nomunye wethu. I-PasseportSanté ikumema ukuthi ufunde kabanzi ngencazelo yazo.

Isifiso sokuhumusha nokuqonda amaphupho sibuyele ezinganekwaneni zamaGrikhi, lapho amaphupho ayehlobene kakhulu nezithixo. Muva nje kusanda kwenziwa izifundo zobuciko ngohlobo lwamaphupho. Ngaphandle kocwaningo oluhlukahlukene kanye nemibono eye yabekwa ngaphezulu kwamakhulu eminyaka, indima nokubaluleka kwamaphupho kusalokhu kungaqinisekile.

Isikhathi sokulala sehlukaniswe izigaba ezi-5 ezihlukile:

• THEukulala yakhiwe ngezigaba ezimbili: ukozela nokozela. Ukozela kubonakala ngokulahleka kwethoni yemisipha nokunciphisa izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo, ngaphambi kokwehla.
• Le ukulala kancane ama-50% wesikhathi esigcwele sokulala ubusuku bonke. Phakathi nalesi sigaba, umuntu uyazunywa, kepha uzwela kakhulu ezintweni ezingaphandle.
• Le ukulala kancane yisigaba sokuzinza ebuthongweni obukhulu. Yilapho umsebenzi wobuchopho wehla kakhulu.
• Le ubuthongo obukhulu yisigaba esinamandla kakhulu sesikhathi sokuphumula, lapho umzimba wonke (imisipha nobuchopho) ulele. Lesi sigaba yisona esibaluleke kakhulu ukulala ngoba sikuvumela ukuthi uthole ukukhathala okunganqwabeleki komzimba. Yilapho futhi lapho ukulala kungenzeka.
• Le ukulala okuyindida ubizwa kanjalo ngoba ngalesi sikhathi ubuchopho bukhipha amagagasi asheshayo, amehlo omuntu ayahamba, futhi ukuphefumula kuba ngokungajwayelekile. Ngenkathi lezi zimpawu zingakhombisa ukuthi lo muntu usezophaphama, basesebuthongweni obukhulu. Yize amaphupho engenzeka phakathi kwezinye izigaba njengokulala okuncane, kwenzeka kakhulu esigabeni sokulala se-REM, okuthatha cishe ama-25% wesikhathi ophumule ngaso.
