Ngaba ezinye zeendawo zokulala zinokuthintela ukonakaliswa kwengqondo ngakumbi kunabanye?

Ukusozela ngokwaneleyo sisixhobo esiphambili solonwabo kunye nemveliso, kodwa kuyavela Njani ulala-hayi nje kangakanani-inokuba nefuthe kwimpilo yengqondo yakho kwiminyaka ezayo. Ngapha koko, ukulala ngecala lakho kunokukunceda uphephe izifo zemithambo-luvo ezifana ne-Alzheimer's kunye ne-Parkinson kwixesha elizayo, inika ingxelo yophononongo olutsha Ijenali yeNeuroscience. (Ezinye izikhundla zinezinto ezahlukeneyo, nangona kunjalo. Fumanisa indlela engaqhelekanga yokulala ichaphazela impilo yakho.)

"Ingqondo lelinye lawona malungu asebenzayo emzimbeni," utsho umbhali ophambili wesifundo uHelene Benveniste, MD, Ph.D., uprofesa we-anesthesiology kunye ne-radiology kwiYunivesithi yaseStony Brook eNew York. Ngaphezulu kwemini, ukungqubana kuqokelela kwingqondo-into abaphandi abayibiza ngokuba yinkcitho. Xa le clutter ikhula, inokuba nemiphumo emibi yexesha elide, kubandakanywa nokwandisa amathuba akho okuphuhlisa izifo ezinzulu ze-neurological.

Ukulala, nangona kunjalo, kunceda umzimba wakho ukulahla inkunkuma. "Indlela ye-Olympics yinkqubo enoxanduva lokususa inkunkuma ebuchotsheni. Iphantse yafana nengqondo yethu ekufuneka ithenwe," ucacisa uBenveniste. Le ndlela yenzelwe ngendlela ekhethekileyo kuba isebenza bhetele phantsi kweemeko ezithile. Kubonakala ngathi iyayicoca inkunkuma ngcono xa ulele kunokuba ulele, kwaye, ngokokufunda kwakhe, indawo yakho yokulala nayo inokunceda ukuba isebenze ngokufanelekileyo. (Omnye umangaliso: Indlela Isimbo sakho sokulala esibuchaphazela ngayo ubudlelwane bakho.)

Iqela likaBenveniste lihlalutye umgangatho wokulala kunye nokusebenza kwendlela ye-glymphatic kwiigundane ezilala ngesisu, umqolo kunye namacala. Bafumanise ukuba ingqondo yayimalunga neepesenti ezingama-25 ngokukuko ekususeni inkunkuma xa iigundane zazilele ngecala. Into enomdla kukuba, icala lokulala sele lisesona sithuba sithandwayo kubantu abaninzi, njengoko isibini kwisithathu sabaseMelika sikhetha ukufumana amanqaku kule ndawo.

Ukuchitha inkunkuma yakho yobuchopho ngokukuko kuya kunceda kwizifo zemithambo-luvo ezantsi kwendlela, kodwa kuthekani malunga nokusebenza kwengqondo yakho ngoku? “Ngokuqinisekileyo siyabufuna ubuthongo bethu ukuze busebenze kakuhle kodwa asizazi iziphumo zexesha elifutshane,” utshilo uBenveniste. (Lungiselela izibonelelo zakho z ngeendlela ezintlanu zokulala kakuhle lonke ixesha lehlobo.)

Ukuba awungomntu olala ecaleni? "Ulahlekelwe zingqondo xa ulele, ke ngekhe uthi" oh ndizokulala ngale ndlela ngoku "ukuba ayisiyondlela yakho leyo, utshilo uBenveniste. Ucebisa ukuba kugxunyekwe kumqamelo okhethekileyo okhuthaza ukulala ecaleni, njengoMqamelo weBar's l-shaped pillow ($326; bedbathandbeyond.com) okanye iTempur-Pedic Tempur Side Sleeper Pillow ($130; bedbathandbeyond.com), ebonelela ngenkxaso egxalabeni lakho. nentamo. Ngaba ufuna ukhetho lwexabiso eliphantsi? Gcina imiqamelo yakho ngendlela eyenza ukuba ulale kwicala lakho ukhululeke ngakumbi, njengokubeka umqamelo phakathi kwemilenze yakho okanye ukulala nomnye ecaleni komzimba wakho.
