“Ukulala” phakathi kokuqeqeshwa nokululama kungenye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu empilweni yethu kanye nokukhuthazela. Ucwaningo lukaDkt. Charles Samuels we-Canadian Sleep Centre lubonise ukuthi ukuziqeqesha ngokweqile kanye nokungaphumuli ngokwanele kungathinta kakhulu ukusebenza kwethu ngokomzimba kanye nenhlalakahle.

Ukuphumula, ukudla okunempilo kanye nokuqeqeshwa kuyizinto ezibalulekile ekusebenzeni kahle kanye nempilo iyonke. Futhi ukulala kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphumula. Ngempilo, kunezindlela nemithi embalwa ebaluleke njengokulala. Ukulala kuthatha ingxenye yesithathu yezimpilo zethu. Njengokushintsha, ukuxhumanisa impilo yethu, ukululama kanye nokusebenza kuzo zonke izinhlangothi.

I-Sky Team yangaphambilini yayiyiqembu lokuqala emhlabeni wobungcweti bokugibela amabhayisikili emgwaqweni ukuqaphela ukubaluleka kokulala kubashayeli abangochwepheshe. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, benza konke okusemandleni abo ukuthutha ama-sleeping pod endaweni yesehlakalo njalo lapho begijima emhlabeni wonke.

Abagibeli abaningi babagibeli bazonciphisa isikhathi sokulala futhi bangeze ukuqeqeshwa okunamandla ngenxa yokuntuleka kwesikhathi. Ngehora leshumi nambili phakathi nobusuku, ngangisaqeqesha imoto, kwathi lapho kusesemnyama, ngavuka ngaya kozivocavoca ekuseni. Ngiyethemba ukufeza umphumela oyifunayo ngokushesha okukhulu. Kodwa lokhu empeleni kulimaza impilo yakho. Ukulala okuncane kakhulu kuvame ukuba nomthelela omkhulu empilweni, ikhwalithi yokuphila, kanye nobude besikhathi sokuphila, kanye nokucindezeleka, ukukhuluphala, kanye nengozi enkulu yokushaywa yisifo sohlangothi nesifo sikashukela.

Uma kuvivinywa, ukuvivinya umzimba kungaholela ekuvuvukeni okukhulu (kwesikhashana), okudinga isikhathi esanele sokululama ukuze umzimba ugcine ibhalansi yokulwa nokuvuvukala isikhathi eside.

Ebhekene neqiniso lokuthi abantu abaningi baqeqesha ngokweqile futhi abalali kahle. Ikakhulukazi, uDkt. Charles Samuel waveza: “La maqembu abantu empeleni adinga ukuphumula okwengeziwe ukuze alulame, kodwa asaqeqesha ngamandla aphezulu. Indlela kanye nomthamo wokuqeqesha odlula ikhono lomzimba lokululama ngokulala ngeke futhi Ukufeza umphumela wokuqeqesha ofiselekayo ngeke kuholele ekunciphiseni kancane kancane amazinga okuqina komzimba.”

Izindawo zokushaya kwenhliziyo zikunikeza ukuqonda ngamandla akho okuzivocavoca njengamanje. Ukuze ulinganisele ukufaneleka komzimba noma umphumela wokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kweseshini, kufanele ucabangele amandla okuzivocavoca, ubude besikhathi, isikhathi sokululama, kanye nokuphindaphinda. Lesi simiso sisebenza ekuqeqeshweni okuthile kanye nezinhlelo zokuqeqesha eziphelele.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumdlali we-Olimpiki noma ungumdlali webhayisikili ongewona owabaqalayo; imiphumela emihle kakhulu yokuqeqeshwa itholakala ngokulala ngokwanele, ubuthongo obufanele, kanye nekhwalithi yokulala efanele.
