Ukulala ukukhubazeka

Ukukhubazeka kokulala yisimo lapho ungakwazi khona ukunyakaza noma ukukhuluma kahle njengoba uzumeka noma uvuka. Ngesikhathi sesiqephu sokukhubazeka ubuthongo, wazi ngokuphelele ukuthi kwenzekani.

Ukukhubazeka kokulala kuvamile. Abantu abaningi banesiqephu esisodwa okungenani ngesikhathi sokuphila kwabo.

Imbangela ngqo yokukhubazeka kokulala ayaziwa ngokugcwele. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi okulandelayo kuxhunyaniswe nokukhubazeka kokulala:

• Ukungalali ngokwanele
• Ukuba nesimiso sokulala esingajwayelekile, njengabasebenza amashifu
• Ukucindezeleka kwengqondo
• Ukulala ngomhlane

Izinkinga ezithile zezokwelapha zingahlotshaniswa nokukhubazeka kokulala:

• Izinkinga zokulala, njenge-narcolepsy
• Ezinye izimo zengqondo, njenge-bipolar disorder, i-PTSD, i-panic disorder
• Ukusetshenziswa kwemithi ethile, njenge-ADHD
• Ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa

Ukukhubazeka kokulala okungahlobene nenkinga yezokwelapha kwaziwa njengokukhubazeka kokulala okuhlukile.

Umjikelezo wokulala ojwayelekile unezigaba, kusuka ekozeleni okuncane kuya ekulaleni okujulile. Ngesikhathi sesiteji esibizwa ngokuthi ukulala kwamehlo okusheshayo (REM), amehlo ahamba ngokushesha futhi ukuphupha okukhanyayo kuvame kakhulu. Ubusuku ngabunye, abantu bahamba ngemijikelezo eminingi yokungalali kwe-non-REM ne-REM. Ngesikhathi sokulala kwe-REM, umzimba wakho ukhululekile nemisipha yakho ayinyakazi. Ukukhubazeka kokulala kwenzeka lapho umjikelezo wokulala ushintsha phakathi kwezigaba. Uma uvuka ngokuzumayo kusuka ku-REM, ubuchopho bakho buvukile, kodwa umzimba wakho usesimweni se-REM futhi awukwazi ukunyakaza, okwenza uzizwe sengathi ukhubazekile.

Iziqephu zokukhubazeka kokulala zihlala zisuka kumasekhondi ambalwa ziye kumzuzu owodwa noma emibili. Lezi zilingo ziphela zodwa noma lapho uthintwa noma uhanjiswa. Ezimweni ezingavamile, ungaba nokuzwa okufana nephupho noma ukusangana, okungahle kusabise.

Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uzobuza ngezimpawu zakho, agxile emikhubeni yakho yokulala nezinto ezingathinta ukulala kwakho. Ungacelwa ukuthi ugcwalise uhlu lwemibuzo mayelana nokulala kwakho ukusiza umhlinzeki wakho ukuthi afinyelele ekuxilongweni.

Ukulala ukukhubazeka kungaba yisibonakaliso se-narcolepsy. Kepha uma ungenazo ezinye izimpawu ze-narcolepsy, imvamisa asikho isidingo sokwenza izifundo zokulala.

Ezimweni eziningi, ukulala ukukhubazeka kwenzeka ngokungavamile ukuthi ukwelashwa kungadingeki. Uma imbangela yaziwa, isibonelo, ngenxa yokuntuleka kokulala, ukulungisa imbangela ngokulala ngokwanele kuvame ukuxazulula isimo.

Kwesinye isikhathi, kunikezwa imithi evimbela i-REM ngesikhathi sokulala.

Kubantu abanezimo zempilo yengqondo, njengokukhathazeka, umuthi nokwelashwa kokuziphatha (i-talk therapy) ukusiza ukuphatha isimo sempilo yengqondo kungaxazulula ukukhubazeka kokulala.

Xoxa ngesimo sakho nomhlinzeki wakho uma uphindaphinde iziqephu zokukhubazeka kokulala. Kungenzeka ngenxa yenkinga yezokwelapha edinga ukuhlolwa okuqhubekayo.
