Ubuwazi ukuthi umngane wakho wekati ulala okungenani ngokuphindwe kabili kunawe? Kunjalo, amakati alala phakathi kuka-13 no-16 ntambama nsuku zonke. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi cishe 2/3 yempilo yabo bayichitha belele. Iqiniso elijabulisayo: kunezinye izinhlobo ezimbili kuphela ezilala kakhulu kunekati, futhi ziyi-opossums namalulwane.

Nokho, wenza okungaphezu nje kokulala. Nakuba ingase ibukeke ngaphandle, iwukuziphatha okubalulekile enhlalakahleni yonke yekati lakho. Bayidinga ukuze bazigcwalise. Asiqhubeke kancane.

Njengamanje, asikho isibalo esithembekile sokuthi amakati alala adinga malini. Njengabantu, kunokuhlukahluka okukhulu ngakunye. Amakati ajwayele ukuhlala endlini futhi angathintani kancane noma angaxhumani nangaphandle awasebenzi kakhulu. Ngenxa yalokho, isikhathi abasidingayo sokuphumula siyancipha kakhulu, futhi balala ngenxa yokucikeka, akusho ukuthi bayakudinga.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sinamakati angaphandle azingelayo noma afuna imithombo ehlukene yokudla. Ngakho-ke, basebenzisa amandla amaningi kakhulu. Phakathi nomjikelezo wazo wokulala, zigcwalisa la mandla. Ukukubeka kalula, lapho i-feline isebenza kakhulu, izodinga ukulala okwengeziwe ukuze ilulame. Kodwa-ke, kulinganiselwa ukuthi ama-felines avame ukulala phakathi kwamahora angu-13 nangu-16 ngosuku, nakuba amanye aphumula amahora afika kwamashumi amabili ngosuku usuku lonke.

Into esemqoka okufanele uyazi ukuthi amakati asebenza kakhulu ebusuku nasekuseni. Ngakho-ke, baphumula ikakhulukazi emini, futhi basebenze ngokwengeziwe kusukela kusihlwa. Ukuvimbela ikati lakho ekuphumeni lapho uyolala kungqubuzana nezidingo zalo kanye nokuziphatha kwalo kwemvelo. Ngemuva kwalokho, ihlala iyinto yomuntu siqu. Labo abazihlomisa nge-electronic cat flap ebatshela ukuthi ikati liphuma nini bahlale bemangele ukuthola impilo yasebusuku yekati labo, elinamandla futhi elivamile.

Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo ezidla izitshalo noma okusanhlamvu ezizithola ngenkathi zizulazula, umngane wakho wekati ungumzingeli wangempela. Ngakho-ke, ukuze ikati lithole ukudla kwalo, kufanele liqale ukusebenza. Uma isiyitholile inyamazane yayo, inzikazi ingena kumodi yokucasha, inyonyoba iqonde lapho ihlose khona ukuze ingayesabi. Ukubamba isidlo sabo sakusihlwa kudinga imizamo emifushane kodwa eqine kakhulu yomzimba kanye nabathengi bamandla. Yingakho bedinga amandla amaningi. Ukulala kuyadingeka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi bayilungiselele ngokugcwele imizamo yabo eminingi, njengoba kungezona zonke eziphumelelayo.

Ngokufana nabantu, ama-felines ayaziwa ukuthi akwazi ukuthatha isihlwathi esilula noma ukulala ubuthongo obukhulu. Lapho ikati lakho lithatha isihlwathi, libeka umzimba walo ukuze likwazi ukugxumela esenzweni ngokushesha. Lesi sigaba ngokuvamile sithatha imizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu kuya kuhhafu wehora. Kodwa lapho elala ngokujulile, uzoqala ukuphupha. Lokhu kuthatha imizuzu embalwa kuphela, nokho, futhi ikati ngokushesha liphinde liqale ukozela. Lokhu kushintshana kuzoqhubeka kuze kube yilapho inyamazane ivuka.

Uke wabona ukuthi ikati lakho lishaya intshebe nezidladla futhi lihambisa amehlo alo, sengathi lidlala ligxuma ezidalweni ezincane noma ligijima ephusheni lalo?

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amakati adlula ezigabeni zokulala ze-non-REM kanye ne-Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Phakathi nesigaba se-non-REM, zilungiselela ngenkuthalo futhi zivumela imizimba yazo ukuthi iqhubeke nokukhula.

Ngakho, ngamanye amazwi, ikati lakho liyaphupha. Futhi, nakuba kungenakwenzeka ukuba akutshele ukuthi uphupha ngani, kukhona okusitshelayo ukuthi amagundane nezinyoni kunendima enkulu kukho.

Kubanikazi abaningi bamakati, umjikelezo wokulala womngane wabo ubonakala uyinqaba. Ikati lihlala usuku lonke futhi ngokuzumayo lihlanye ubusuku bonke, ligxume izindonga, likulume ebusweni ekuseni kakhulu futhi ligingqele izinto njengokungathi ukuphela komhlaba.

Okudingeka ukuqonde ukuthi ikati lakho liyisilwane esidla inyama sekuhwalele. Lokhu kusho ukuthi amahora asebenzayo ahlelelwe phakathi kokuhwalala nokusa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi inyamazane abeyoyizingela ngokwemvelo uma engaphandle izosebenza kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi.

Ngakho-ke, iwashi layo langaphakathi libekwe ngendlela yokuthi lihlanyise isilwane sakho ebusuku kakhulu, njengoba sililungiselele ngokulala kwamahora angu-16 usuku lonke. Kulula kanjalo. Futhi, ngemva kwakho konke, uma ulala amahora angu-14 usuku lonke, ubungeke yini usebenze ebusuku?

Kusobala ukuthi amakati alala kakhulu. Lesi ngesinye sezizathu ezibenza babe isilwane esifuywayo esithandwayo, abadingi ukunakwa okufanayo nezinja, ikakhulukazi asikho isidingo sokuhamba nabo.

Ukukubeka kalula, amakati ayavilapha. Manje njengoba ubasekela, abadingi ngempela ukonga amandla, ngakho-ke balala ngaphandle kwesithukuthezi. Ungakhathazeki, kungokwemvelo futhi kujwayelekile ukuthi umngane wakho oyinkabi alale usuku lonke, ihlelwa kanjalo.

Okuwukuphela kwezincomo: ungazami ukubavusa. Ukuwabamba kungase kubangele ukusabela okungazelelwe, futhi angase akunwaye izingalo noma okubi nakakhulu. Ibalulekile. Namathela ezindleleni zabo zokulala zemvelo. Ikati lakho liyakwazi ukukubonisa uma lisesimeni sokugona nokudlala.
