Xa ufumana ukubanda okungathandekiyo, unokuvula i-NyQuil ngaphambi kokulala kwaye ungacingi nto ngayo. Kodwa abanye abantu bathatha i-counter-the-counter (i-OTC) i-antihistamine-equlathe izixhobo zokulala (okt i-NyQuil) ukubanceda balale naxa bengaguli-isicwangciso esinokuthi singabinakho isandi kuyingozi kakhulu ekuqaleni, kodwa eneneni kunokuba yingozi ngakumbi kunokuba ucinga.

Thatha uWhitney Cummings, umzekelo: Kwisiqendu samva nje sepodcast yakhe Kuhle kuwe, umculi wachaza ukuba ujongene nengxaki ye-coyote kwiyadi yakhe (iingxaki ze-LA), ngoko uhlala ehlola i-footage evela kwikhamera yokhuseleko egubungela indawo.

Kodwa ngenye imini, wabona imifanekiso eyamothusayo. Yabona, uCummings wathi ungene kumkhwa wokuthatha i-NyQuil ngaphambi kokulala ukuze amncede alale, kwaye ividiyo ayibukeleyo yambonisa engena eyadini yakhe ezinzulwini zobusuku kwaye echamela kwezinye izihlahla. Elona candelo likhathazayo? Uye wathi akakhumbuli yenzekayo-kwaye yonke loo nto yehla emva kokuba ethathe iNyQuil. (Qaphela: Akukacaci ukuba ingakanani i-NyQuil Cummings ethathiweyo, kodwa idosi ecetyiswayo yabantu abadala yi-30 mL, okanye amacephe ama-2, rhoqo kwiiyure ezintandathu, kwaye akufuneki udlule iidosi ezine ngosuku olunye.)

Ngelixa uCummings esithi uyifumene le meko iyinto ehlekisayo, waphinda wavuma ukuba yayisoyikisa ... kwaye mhlawumbi yayilixesha lokuyeka umkhwa wakhe we-NyQuil.

Kodwa ngaba kwenzeka ntoni kwiCummings into yokuba abantu abathatha izixhobo zokulala ezine-OTC kufuneka babe nexhala? Okanye ngaba amava kaCummings angaphezulu kwemeko enye? Apha, oogqirha bayacacisa ukuba kwenzeka ntoni xa usela la mayeza rhoqo, kunye nendlela yokuwasebenzisa ngokukhuselekileyo.

Zisebenza njani izixhobo zokulala ze-OTC?

Phambi kokuba singene ngaphakathi, kubalulekile ukucacisa "izixhobo zokulala ze-OTC".

Kukho izinto zendalo zokulala ze-OTC-ezinje nge-melatonin kunye ne-Valerian-kwaye ke kukho i-antihistamine equkethe i-OTC yokunceda. Aba bamva bawela kwiindidi ezimbini: ukudambisa iintlungu kunye nokungabikho kweentlungu. Umahluko phakathi kwezi zimbini? Amayeza afana ne-NyQuil, i-AdvilPM, kunye neTylenol Cold kunye ne-Cough Nighttime zibandakanya ukuphelisa iintlungu (ezinje nge-acetaminophen okanye ibuprofen) ukukunceda uzive ungcono xa unokubanda okanye umkhuhlane, kodwa zikwanazo ne-antihistamines. Amayeza athengiswa njenge "zixhobo zokulala ebusuku," njengeZzzQuil, ziqulathe ii-antihistamines.

Zombini ezi ntlobo ze-antihistamine ziqulethe i-OTC zokunceda zisebenzisa iziphumo zokozela ezinxulumene neentlobo ezithile ze-antihistamines, ezisetyenziselwa ukunyanga i-allergies (cinga nge-Benadryl). Njengoko igama lisitsho, ii-antihistamines zisebenza ngokuchasene ne-histamine, ikhemikhali emzimbeni wakho, enemisebenzi emininzi, enye yazo kukugcina ingqondo yakho ivukile kwaye iphaphile. Ke xa i-histamine ivaliwe, uziva udiniwe ngakumbi, uyacacisa uRamzi Yacoub, uFarm.D., Usokhemesti kunye negosa lekhemesti eliyintloko le-SingleCare. Ezona antihistamines zixhaphakileyo ezifumaneka kwi-OTC izixhobo zokulala yi-diphenhydramine (efumaneka kwi-AdvilPM) kunye ne-doxylamine (efumaneka kwi-NyQuil kunye neTylenol Cold kunye neCough Nighttime), uyongeza.

I-Antihistamine-equlethe izixhobo zokulala ze-OTC zihlala zineziphumo ebezingalindelekanga.

Ukulala ngokulala sisiphumo esichanekileyo esibhalwe kakuhle semithi yokulala amayeza afana neAmbien. Ngelixa abanye banokubiza okwenzekileyo kuCummings "kukulala," ayisiyiyo eyona ndlela ichanekileyo yokubonisa iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezichazwe ngumdlalo ohlekisayo, utshilo uStephanie Stahl, M.D., ugqirha wamayeza obuthongo kwiYunivesithi yase-Indiana Health. "Ngelixa ukulala kungakhange kuxelwe rhoqo ngezixhobo zokulala ze- [antihistamine-containing] ze-OTC, la mayeza anokubangela ukuthomalalisa, ukudideka, ukuphela kwememori, kunye nokuqhekeka kokulala, okunokunyusa umngcipheko wokuhamba hamba okanye ukuzula ebusuku," uyacacisa.

Unokusiqonda esi siphumo sobumnyama kwenye into eqhelekileyo: utywala. Kungenxa yokuba nayiphi na into edambisayo-kubandakanya zombini utywala kunye ne-antihistamine-equlethe izixhobo zokulala-inokubangela "ukuphazamiseka kokuvuka okudidekayo," utshilo u-Alex Dimitriu, MD, umseki we-Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine, onebhodi ephindwe kabini kwi-psychiatry kunye neyeza lokulala. . "Eli gama lithetha ukuthini ukuba abantu baphantse bavuka, balele ubuthongo, kwaye ngokubanzi abanakukhumbula okwenzekileyo," ucacisa. Ke ... kanye kanye kwenzeka ntoni kwiCummings. "Xa ingqondo ilele ubuthongo, inkumbulo ithanda ukuhamba," wongeza.

Esinye isiphumo esinokubakho (kunye nesigqebelo) se-antihistamine-equlethe izixhobo zokulala ze-OTC zingaphantsi-kunobuthongo obukhulu. "Kukho inkxalabo yokuba i-diphenhydramine inokuba nefuthe elingalunganga ngokunciphisa ubuthongo be-REM (okanye ukulala ubuthongo), utshilo uGqirha Dimitriu. Ukunqongophala kokulala kwe-REM kunokuchaphazela inkumbulo yakho, imo, ukusebenza kwengqondo, kunye nokuvuselelwa kweeseli, ke oku kunokuba yingxaki kakhulu.

Izincedisi zokulala ze-OTC ezine-antihistamine azisoloko zikuncedi ukuba ulale ixesha elide, utshilo uGqr. Stahl. “Ngokomyinge, abantu abathatha la mayeza balala ixeshana nje elingemizuzu eli-10,” uyachaza. "Ukongeza, uninzi lwabantu lwakha unyamezelo kunye nokuxhomekeka emzimbeni kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa zokuthatha la mayeza." Ngelixa uGqr. Stahl esithi i-antihistamine ene-OTC yokuncedisa ukulala ayithathwa njengento "yomlutha", kunokwenzeka ukuba ungene kumkhwa wokufuna ukuba balale ukuba basetyenziswe ngokugqithiseleyo, uyachaza. Kwaye ngokuhamba kwexesha, banokungasebenzi kakuhle ekukuncedeni ukuba umzimba wakho wakhe ngokulula ukunyamezeleka kunyango, okwenza imeko yakho yokulala ibe mandundu. Ke yinto enye ukuthatha idosi ye-NyQuil xa ugula kwaye kunzima ukulala. Kodwa ukuthatha i-antihistamine equkethe i-OTC yokulala ngoncedo nje Ukulala ngcono akunakulindeleka ukuba uvelise iziphumo ezinqwenelekayo, utshilo uGqirha Stahl.

Eminye imiphumo emibi ye-antihistamine ene-OTC yokulala ingabandakanya umlomo owomileyo, ukuqhina, ukungaboni kakuhle, kunye nokulinganisela kunye neengxaki zokulungelelanisa, phakathi kwabanye. Ugqirha Stahl uthi:

Kwaye ngelixa i-antihistamines, ngokubanzi, iyeza eliqhelekileyo, kunokubakho ukuhla okuphantsi kokuthatha rhoqo ixesha elide. Umzekelo, uphando lupapashwe kwi Unyango lwaNgaphakathi lweJAMA bafumanise ukuba abantu abathatha idosi eqhelekileyo "yesizukulwana sokuqala se-antihistamines" (enokubandakanya i-diphenhydramine-leyo ifunyenwe kwi-AdvilPM-phakathi kwezinye iindidi ze-antihistamines) malunga neveki enye kwithuba leminyaka eyi-10 babesengozini enkulu yokugula kwengqondo. . "Ngenxa yokuba into ekhoyo i-OTC ayithethi ukuba ikhuselekile okanye iyasebenza," kusho uDkt. Stahl.

Uya kwazi njani ukuba i-antihistamine-equlathe i-OTC yokulala ichaphazela imemori yakho?

Enye inkcukacha eyenze ibali likaCummings loyike kakhulu kukuba kubonakala ngathi ngekhe ayifumanise yenzekile ukuba akakhange ajonge ikhamera yakhe yokhuseleko. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ayinguye wonke umntu onekhamera yokugubungela yonke indlu yakhe. Ngethamsanqa, nangona kunjalo, kukho ezinye iindlela ezilumkileyo zokugcina iliso kuwo nawuphi na umsebenzi ongaqhelekanga wasebusuku ukuba uthatha i-antihistamine ene-OTC yoncedo lokulala.

"Iiapps ezirekhoda izandi ubusuku bonke ziyinto yesibini elungileyo kwiikhamera zabantu abafuna ukuqiniseka ukuba akukho nto bayenzayo ingaqhelekanga," ucebisa uGqirha Dimitriu. "Iitrackers zomsebenzi kunye neewatchwatches zinokubonelela nangezinto ezinokukukhokelela kwimisebenzi egqithisileyo ebusuku." Kwaye, uninzi lwabantu lubamba iifowuni zabo xa bevuka, uyaphawula. Ke, ukujonga izicatshulwa, umsebenzi we-intanethi, kunye neefowuni kunokuba luncedo, utshilo. (Idibeneyo: 10 IiNkqubo eziSimahla zokukunceda ulale ngcono ngokuhlwanje)

Indlela eLungileyo yokuThatha i-Antihistamine-Equlathe i-OTC yokuncedisa ukulala

Iingcali ziyavuma ukuba ukuthatha i-OTC antihistamine-equlathe uncedo lokulala njenge-NyQuil busuku ngabunye ayisiyongcamango ilungileyo. Kodwa ukuba ufuna uncedo lokulala ngamanye amaxesha, nantsi indlela yokusebenzisa i-OTC antihistamine equkethe izixhobo zokulala ngokukhuselekileyo.

Tshela ugqirha wakho ukuba uyabasebenzisa. Esinye sezizathu ezinkulu zokwenza oku kungenxa yokuba i-OTC antihistamine-equkethe izixhobo zokulala inokusebenzisana nezinye izinto onokuzisebenzisa ngokuqhelekileyo-ezifana notywala kunye nentsangu, utsho uGqr Stahl. "Banxibelelana namanye amayeza amaninzi, kubandakanya neyeza lokuthomalalisa uxinzelelo," uyongeza. "Ngaphambi kokuba uqale nayiphi na Amayeza e-OTC, jonga ugqirha wakho ukuze abone ukuba anokunxibelelana namanye amayeza okanye mandundu ngakumbi ezinye iingxaki zonyango kwaye ukuba unyango olwahlukileyo lungcono.

Nuhlala uqhuba emva kokuba uzithathile. "[I-OTC antihistamine equkethe izixhobo zokulala] yonyusa umngcipheko weengozi zeemoto kwaye inokubangela ukwanda kokuqhuba kunenqanaba lotywala egazini ngepesenti eyi-0.1," ucacisa uGqirha Stahl. Ke, susa ivili post-NyQuil. Ukuba unenkxalabo malunga nokulala okanye ukuba mnyama njengeCummings, beka izitshixo zakho kwindawo ekhuselekileyo ekungafikeleli kuyo kude kube kusasa.

Musa ukuxhomekeka kubo ixesha elide. I-OTC i-antihistamine equlethe izixhobo zokulala zenzelwe ukuba zisetyenziswe ngamaxesha athile ubusuku xa uziva uphantsi kwemozulu kwaye awukwazi ukulala, utsho uYacoub."Ukuba unengxaki yokulala ixesha elide, ndingacebisa ukuba ubone ugqirha wakho onokuthi avavanye oku ngakumbi," utshilo.

Ziqhelise ukucoceka xa ulala. UDkt Dimitriu uthi: Ukuziqhelanisa nokulala rhoqo kunye namaxesha okuvuka, ukuphepha izikrini ngaphambi kokulala, kunye nokufumana ukukhanya kwelanga ekuseni konke kunokuhamba indlela ende ekukhuthazeni ukucoceka kokulala, uyaphawula. (Ufuna ezinye izimvo? Nazi iindlela ezi-5 zokunciphisa uxinzelelo emva kosuku olude kunye nokukhuthaza ukulala okungcono ebusuku.)

Ukuba ujongene nokuphuthelwa, cinga ngolunye unyango. "Endaweni yokufihla iingxaki zakho zokulala ngamayeza, ukulungisa ingcambu yengxaki kungcono," ucacisa uGqirha Stahl. "Unyango lokuziphatha kwengqondo yokuqaqanjelwa sisifo kunyango lwangaphambili olucetyiswayo lokungalali okungapheliyo, hayi iyeza."
