Kunezingxenye ezimbalwa zesimiso sakho sokulala osibheka njengesingcwele: ukugeza ubuso, ukuxubha amazinyo, ukushintsha ube yi-PJs ethokomele. Futhi-ke kukhona ukuqhuma, umkhuba olula ukukhohlwa (noma ukungawunaki ngamehlo) umkhuba owaziyo kufanele ukwenza nsuku zonke. Kepha ake sithi ushibilika ubusuku obubodwa, noma obubili, noma-whoops! -Isonto lonke. Kubi kangakanani ngempela ukukhohlwa ukuflossisa?

"Ngingasho ukuthi akuyona into enkulu," kusho uMark Burhenne, D.D.S., udokotela wamazinyo waseCalifornia nombhali we I-8-Hour Sleep Paradox . "Kuwukudla kanye nendlela yokuphila kuqala, bese kuba yi-flossing nokuxubha."

Ukuzwile lokho kwesokudla: I-Flossing iba ibaluleke kangako uma uhlala kude noswidi, ipasta, nokunye ukudla okusetshenzisiwe ngokweqile okungadala ukubola kwamazinyo.

Ukukhumbula futhi empeleni ukufuna ukundiza nsuku zonke kungaba ngumzabalazo. UBurhenne uyakuthola. Uphakamisa ukufihla ifloss nxazonke zendlu yakho-nge-nightstand yakho, eduze nombhede, esikhwameni sakho-ukuze ucabange ngakho kaningi. "Awukwazi ukufloss nsuku zonke, kodwa [ekugcineni] uzolahlekelwa umuzwa wokuthi kuzwakala kanjani ukufloss," usho kanje. "Leyo yindlela enhle yokuthola abantu."
