Kukangaki thina, ngokungalali ngokwanele phakathi nesonto lokusebenza, siziduduza ngokuthi impelasonto izofika futhi sizokhokhela wonke amahora esingalalanga.
Kodwa, njengoba abacwaningi eNyuvesi yaseColorado eBoulder befakazele, lokhu ngeke kwenziwe. Iqiniso liwukuthi ukulala isikhathi eside ngezimpelasonto akukubuyiseli ukungalali kahle isonto lonke.
Ucwaningo lwabo lwalunamaqembu ama-2 amavolontiya ayengavunyelwe ukulala amahora angaphezu kwamahlanu ngobusuku. Iqembu lokuqala alizange livunyelwe ukulala amahora angaphezu kwamahlanu phakathi naso sonke isikhathi sokuhlola, futhi iqembu lesibili lalivunyelwa ukuba lilale ngezimpelasonto.
Ngokubheka inkambo yokuhlolwa, kwatholakala ukuthi ababambiqhaza kuwo womabili amaqembu baqala ukudla kaningi ebusuku, bathola isisindo, futhi babonisa ukuwohloka kwezinqubo ze-metabolic.
Eqenjini lokuqala, abahlanganyeli abangazange balale amahora angaphezu kwamahlanu, ukuzwela kwe-insulin kwehle ngo-13%, eqenjini lesibili (labo abalala ngezimpelasonto) lokhu kuncipha kwakusuka ku-9% kuya ku-27%.
Ngakho-ke, ososayensi bafinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi "ukulala ngempelasonto" akuyona into engaphezu kwenganekwane esiziduduza ngayo, akunakwenzeka ukwenza lokhu. Ngakho zama ukulala ngokwanele nsuku zonke amahora angu-6-8.
Ukulala okungakanani
Ososayensi baphendule umbuzo wokuthi udinga ukulala kangakanani: isikhathi sokulala esivamile kufanele sibe amahora angu-7-8. Nokho, ukulala okunempilo kuwubuthongo obuqhubekayo. Kuzuzisa kakhulu ukulala amahora angu-6 ngaphandle kokuvuka kunamahora angu-8 ngokuvuka. Ngakho-ke, idatha ye-WHO ngalolu daba yandisa imingcele yokulala okunempilo: umuntu omdala udinga ukulala kusukela emahoreni angu-6 kuya kwangu-8 ngosuku ukuze aphile okuvamile.
Sizokhumbuza, phambilini sikhulume ngokuthi yimiphi imikhiqizo ekwenza ulale futhi seluleka ukuthi ungakhuphula kanjani ukusebenza uma kwenzeka kuba nokukhathala nokozela.
Yiba nempilo!
