Iningi labantu liyazi ukuthi ukungalali ngokwanele kunemiphumela efana nemizwa emibi, kepha ucwaningo lwamuva luphetha ngokuthi lungathinta nesisindo. Ucwaningo olwenziwe Amanyuvesi aseTübingen naseLübeck eJalimane nase-University of Uppsala eSweden, kukhombisa lokho abantu ababanjwa ubuthongo maningi amathuba okuthi balambe.
Ukuhlolwa kwemitholampilo kubonisa ukuthi iningi le- abantu badla cishe ama-calories angama-300 kuye kwangama-500 ngosuku ngemuva kokungalali ngokwanele; ngakho-ke, ubudlelwano phakathi kwamahora okuphumula nokuzuza kwesisindo kuyafundwa. Lapho singabuthongo ubuthongo, izikhungo zethu zemiklomelo ebuchosheni ziyasebenza kakhulu, ngakho-ke silahlekelwa amandla ethu okuhlaziya nokwenza izinqumo ezinhle zokudla.
UDkt Harrington, ohola lolu cwaningo, uthi ukuxhumana phakathi kokulala nokuzuza kwesisindo kwaqala ukubonwa ocwaningweni lwango-1970 olwenziwa nabahlengikazi. Kulolu cwaningo, lapho abahlengikazi abangaphezu kwama-70.000 babambe khona iqhaza, kwabonwa ukuthi amahora ambalwa abalala ngawo, kuphakamisa inkomba yomzimba wabo, futhi lo mkhuba uqhubeke phakathi nenkathi yeminyaka eyi-15 yocwaningo.

Umqondisi weSleep Clinic e-University of Canberra, uGrant Willson, uyanezela ukuthi abantu abanezinkinga zokulala abangaxhumani nochwepheshe babeka izimpilo zabo engcupheni enkulu. I-12% yamadoda angaphezu kwama-40 ahlangabezana nokuvinjelwa kwezindiza okungama-30 ngehora asengozini yokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngisho nalabo abane-block engu-15 ngehora banamathuba aphindwe kathathu okufa ngesifo senhliziyo, isifo sohlangothi, noma engozini yemoto.
Izinkinga zokulala zibeka engcupheni impilo. Ngemuva kokuqala ukwelashwa okufanele ngongcweti, kwenzeka intuthuko ephawulekayo esiza nokuthola ukucaciseleka kwengqondo okukhulu okwandisa ikhono lokucabanga futhi, ngenxa yalokho, kube nokukhiqiza.
Imithombo elula nayo kufanele isolwe ngokuntula kwethu ukulala, ngokusho kukaDkt. Harrington, obuye athi silala isilinganiso samahora amabili ngobusuku esingaphansi kogogo nomkhulu bethu. I-Melatonin iyi-hormone yethu yokulala futhi lapho nje kutholakala ukukhanya okukhanyayo, kuyanyamalala. Ngaphandle kokuthi sine-melatonin eyanele ohlelweni lwethu noma ebuchosheni bethu, kuzoba nzima kakhulu ngathi ukuthi silale uma sivezwa yimithombo elula ngesikhathi sokuphumula kwethu.
