Ukulala: kuhle kakhulu, kepha kuphuthelwe okuningi. Umbiko wakamuva ovela ku-National Sleep Foundation uthole ukuthi ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zabantu baseMelika ayitholi amahora ayisikhombisa kuya kwayisishiyagalombili okuvala iso ubusuku ngabunye.

Nokho, wake wazibuza ukuthi lokho kuhumushela kanjani abantu basekolishi (ikakhulukazi uma ungakayishiyi imikhuba yakho yokulala yasekolishi ngemuva-unecala!)? Ngenhlanhla, inqwaba yabafundi abasebenza ekolishi abanemizimba yokuqina komzimba (i-emoji ishaya nxazonke!), Futhi iJawbone muva nje ibheke amashumi ezinkulungwane zemininingwane yabasebenzisi babo emanyuvesi angaphezu kwe-100 ase-US ukuthola ukuthi umuntu omusha ngokusebenzisa abadala ulala kanjani isikole. Izindaba ezimnandi? Izingane zasekolishi zilala kakhulu, ngokwesilinganiso, kunabo bonke abantu. (Ngabe bewazi ukuthi i-Orral Roberts University yaba yiyunivesithi yokuqala ukufuna ukuthi abafundi bayo bagqoke abalandela imfanelo yokuzivocavoca umzimba?)

Embikweni ogcwele okhishwe yiJawbone namuhla, isigebenga sokulandela umkhondo sathola ukuthi abafundi bathola isilinganiso esingaphezudlwana kwamahora ayisikhombisa ngokulala ubusuku bonke phakathi nesonto, futhi cishe amahora ayisikhombisa nohhafu bafika ngezimpelasonto. Futhi abesifazane balala kakhulu kunabesilisa, bathola imizuzu engaphezulu kwengu-23 yokulala ngesonto phakathi kwamabili futhi bancipha ngaphezu kwe-15 ngezimpelasonto. (Okungase kungezwakali njengokuningi, kodwa lokho kuyanezela.) Ngaphezu kwalokho, izintokazi ziyolala ngobuhlakani cishe kusasele ihora kunabafana. (Lokho kuyizindaba ezimnandi uma ucabanga ngalezi zizathu ezimbili zokungalali ngokwanele kuyinkinga enkulu yabesifazane.)

Okuthokozisayo nokho, ukuthi uJawbone uphinde wathola ukuxhumana phakathi kwezinga lesikole lobunzima bezemfundo kanye nesikhathi sokulala kamuva-ikakhulukazi, lapho isikole besinamandla ngokwengeziwe, kamuva kube izikhathi zokulala ezijwayelekile. Akumangazi ngokuphelele, akunjalo? Abafundi bezikole ezimbili ze-Ivy League-Columbia University kanye ne-University of Pennsylvania-bavame ukushaya isaka ngemva kwawo wonke umuntu.

UJawbone ukholelwa ukuthi ucwaningo lwabo luqinisa ucwaningo lwango-2009 olushicilelwe ku- Ubuntu nokwehluka komuntu ngamunye, okwaphetha ngokuthi ukuhlakanipha okujwayelekile okuphezulu kuhlotshaniswa nezikhova zasebusuku. Kodwa-ke, khumbula ukuthi ubuhlakani obujwayelekile buyakwenza hhayi ukusebenza okuphezulu okulinganayo noma amamaki angcono. Isiphakamiso sethu? Shaya isaka lapho ukwazi khona futhi uthole okungenani amahora ayisikhombisa wokuvala iso ubusuku bonke. Phela, ukulala okungcono kuye kwaboniswa njengokhiye ekwehleni kwesisindo, kungathuthukisa isimo sakho sengqondo, futhi kuzokusiza uphile isikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke, ngubani ophethe umhlaba? Amantombazane. Amantombazane aphethe umhlaba. Ngoba bathola ubuthongo obuningi.
