Lokhu kusho ukulahleka kwezinsuku eziyi-11,3 zomsebenzi ngomsebenzi ngamunye. Naphezu kwalezi zindleko ezimangalisayo, ukuqwasha kuseyisifo esingaqondakali ngokuvamile esingathathwa ngokungathi sína yilabo abanalesi sifo nodokotela.
Kungani kufanele ube nendaba nokulala okuhle?
Imiphumela yokuqwasha ingase ibe banzi kunalokho esikucabangayo. Kubantu asebekhulile, impilo yomphakathi incoma amaphilisi okulalisa. Ukuncipha kokusebenza ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo kubantu abadala asebekhulile kuhlotshaniswa eduze nezimpawu zokuqwasha futhi kungabangela ezinye izifo ezinjengokucindezeleka okukhulu, ukuwohloka komqondo, kanye ne-anhedonia.
Ukuqwasha kuthinta amaphesenti angu-60 kuya kwangu-90 abantu abadala abaye babhekana nokucindezeleka okukhulu futhi kuwuphawu lwesenzo sokuvimbela ukuzibulala, ikakhulukazi kwabasinde ekulweni. Labo abanenkinga yokulala basemathubeni aphindwe kane okuba baye kodokotela bengqondo bekhononda ngezingxabano zomkhaya nezinkinga zobuhlobo. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ukuqwasha kwabesifazane kulimaza kakhulu impilo nomuntu oshade naye, kanti amadoda aphethwe yile nkinga awazange abike izingxabano.

Iziguli ezilala ngaphansi kwamahora amahlanu ngosuku zinezikhathi zokusabela ezimbi kakhulu. Eqenjini labantu abasha abangazange balale amahora angu-17, ukukhiqizwa komsebenzi kwakusezingeni lomuntu omdala ngemva kokuphuza utshwala. Ukuhlaziywa kwabonisa ukuthi imithamo engu-18 kuphela yamaphilisi okulala ngonyaka kubantu abasha yandisa ingozi yezifo izikhathi ezintathu.
