Kugcine ukubuyekezwa ngo-Agasti 13, 2024 ngu Mthandi Wezinja
Njengabanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo, sihlala sifunela izinja zethu okungcono kakhulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziphapheme noma zilele.
Ukuziphatha okunelukuluku esivame ukukuqaphela izinja zethu bekhonkotha ebuthongweni, okungase kusenze sizibuze ngamaphupho abo.
Njengabantu, izinja zithola amaphupho ngesikhathi zilele, ngezinye izikhathi zibangela ukuba zinyakaze, zihonqe, noma zikhonkothe.
Kungani Izinja Zikhonkotha Ngenkathi Zilele?
Izinja zivame ukukhonkotha zilele ngenxa yokuphupha. Uzoqaphela ezinye izenzo ezifana nokudikiza, ukugquma, ukukhala, noma “ukugijima” endaweni.
Lokhu kunyakaza kwenzeka njengoba izinja zisabela ekushukumiseni okucacile emaphusheni azo, njengoba kwenza empilweni yangempela.
Izinja, njengabantu, ziyadlula ukunyakaza kwamehlo okusheshayo (REM) kanye nezigaba zokulala ezingezona ze-REM. Nokho, ngenxa yokuthi imijikelezo yabo yokulala iyahluka, lezi zigaba zimfushane.
Phakathi nesigaba se-REM sokulala okujulile, izinja ziyaphupha, okuyilapho ongase uzizwe zikhonkotha khona. Ezinjeni ezinosayizi omaphakathi, isigaba sokuqala se-REM siqala cishe imizuzu engama-20 ngemva kokulala.
Ukuqonda Umjikelezo Wokulala Wenja
Izinja zilala cishe amahora ayi-11-12 nsuku zonke, nokulala kwe-REM kwenza cishe amahora amathathu angaleso sikhathi. Ngokungafani nabantu, izinja zilala nge-polyphasically, okusho ukuthi zilala ngezikhathi ezimfushane ezimbalwa usuku lonke.
Umjikelezo wenja ovamile wokulala uthatha cishe imizuzu engama-45, uhlanganisa cishe imizuzu engama-20 ngayinye yokulala okungeyona i-REM ne-REM. Ngezikhathi ezingezona ze-REM, izinja ngokuvamile azinyakazi, kuyilapho izigaba ze-REM zingabangela ukukhonkotha okufushane.
Ubukhulu bohlobo buthinta umjikelezo wokulala, izinja ezinkulu zivame ukuba nezikhala ezinde (imizuzu engama-60–90) phakathi kwezigaba ze-REM, okuholela emaphusheni amade.
Izinja ezincane zingangena ezifundeni ze-REM kaningi njalo emizuzwini eyi-10, okubangela ukuziphatha okuvame ukuphupha.
I-REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
Nakuba kungavamile, ezinye izinja zihlushwa isimo esaziwa ngokuthi Ukuphazamiseka kokuziphatha kokulala kwe-REM (RBD), okungababangela ukuthi bakhonkothe lapho belele.
Imvamisa, izicubu ziyaphumula ngesikhathi sokuphupha ngenxa yokukhubazeka kwesikhashana okwaziwa ngokuthi i-muscle atonia. Kodwa-ke, izinja ezine-RBD ziyaqhubeka nokunyakaza ngenxa yokuthi ama-motor neurons azo alokhu edubula, okuholela ekuhambeni okulingisa izenzo zangempela.
Izinja ezine-RBD zingase zibonise ukunyakaza okungavamile futhi ngezinye izikhathi okunolaka phakathi nokulala kwe-REM, okuhlanganisa ukuluma, ukugquma, nokuhlafuna. Lezi zenzo zingase zenzeke phakathi nesikhathi sokulala sasemini nasebusuku.
Izimo eziyisisekelo ezifana ne-tetanus noma izifo zemizwa, noma izakhi zofuzo, zingaba nomthelela ku-RBD.
Ngokungafani nabantu, lapho i-RBD ivame ukukhula ngokuya ngeminyaka, izinja zivame ukubonisa izimpawu ngaphambi kosuku lwazo lokuqala lokuzalwa. Ukwelashwa kuvame ukubandakanya ama-antidepressants noma ama-anti-seizure ukuze ulawule izimpawu.
Ziphuphani Izinja?
Nakuba izinja zingakwazi ukusitshela ngamaphupho azo, kukholakala ukuthi ziphupha ngezinto ezizenza nsuku zonke, njengabantu.
Izinja zingase zidlale kabusha imicimbi yosuku lwazo, ziphendule emaphusheni azo njengoba bezingenza empilweni yangempela.
Isibonelo, izinja zokuzingela zingase ziphuphe ngokujaha inyamazane, kuyilapho ama-Collies engase akhumbule imisebenzi yokwelusa. Okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle nokubi kungalolonga izimpendulo zamaphupho abo.
Ingabe Kufanele Uvuse Inja Ekhonkothayo?
Uma inja yakho ikhonkotha ngenkathi ilele, ngokuvamile kuhle ukuba ungayivusi. Lawa mazwi ngokuvamile awanangozi, futhi ukuzama ukuvusa inja yakho kungase kubangele ingozi eyengeziwe.
Inja evuswe kungazelelwe ingadideka futhi ingase isabele ngobudlova, okungase kubangele ukulimala ngengozi.
Vumela inja yakho ukuthi iqhubeke nokuziphatha kwayo kokulala endaweni ephephile. Uma umsindo uphazamisa, cabanga ukususa umbhede wakhe endaweni ethulile endlini.
Imicabango Final
Inja ekhonkothayo ebuthongweni akuvamile ukuba ibe imbangela yokukhathazeka. Cishe kuyingxenye engokwemvelo yokuphupha, ebonisa izinkumbulo zabo nolwazi lwabo.
Ngaphandle uma kukhona ushintsho ekuziphatheni kwenja yakho elele noma evukayo, lokhu kukhonkotha kungesinye isici esithandekayo sokuba nomngane onoboya.
