Ukulala amahora amaningi anconywayo akuqinisekisi njalo ukulala okuphumuzayo. Izisebenzi eziningi ziyavuka zikhathele naphezu kokuchitha amahora ayisishiyagalombili embhedeni, futhi isayensi isiqala ukukhomba ukucindezeleka okuhlobene nomsebenzi njengembangela eyinhloko yalesi simanga . Ucwaningo lwamuva oluvela eNyuvesi yase-Edinburgh lulinganise inkinga ethinta izigidi zabantu eYurophu buthule.
Lolu cwaningo, olushicilelwe ephephabhukwini i-Scientific Reports, lulandele abasebenzi abangu-45 abaneminyaka ephakathi kuka-50 no-66 abavela emikhakheni eyahlukene unyaka wonke. Imiphumela iyamangaza: cishe u-70% wabahlanganyeli babhekane nezinkinga zokulala eziqhubekayo nezibalulekile emtholampilo , naphezu kokungabi nomlando wangaphambilini wezinkinga zokulala. Ngokusho kwabacwaningi, imbangela eyinhloko ihlobene ngqo nendawo yokusebenza.
Ama-92% alabo abathintekile asondele kakhulu emkhawulweni wezokwelapha wezinkinga zokulala.
Abacwaningi baqoqe ukuhlolwa kwabo okungaphezu kuka-1.900 kwenhlalakahle kanye nendawo yokusebenza, kanye nedatha yezinzwa ezigqokwayo ehlanganisa izinsuku ezingaphezu kuka-5.200 zokuqopha. Phakathi kwabahlanganyeli ababhekene nezinkinga zokulala eziqhubekayo, ama-92% afinyelele umkhawulo wezokwelapha wesifo sokulala okungenani kanye , inani elidlula kakhulu izilinganiso zangaphambilini zabantu bonke.
Enye yezinto eziphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi iningi labasebenzi lilale amahora angu-6,5 kuya kwangu-8 ngobusuku, kodwa ama-90% abhekana nokuphazamiseka kokulala njalo kanye nokuvuka ebusuku . Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi kungani abantu abaningi bezizwa bengakhululekile naphezu kokulala isikhathi esinconywayo. Imininingwane evela kumadivayisi agqokwa esihlakaleni ibonise ukuthi ukuhlukana kokulala, hhayi ukuntuleka kokulala, yinkinga yangempela.
Besebenzisa amathuluzi obuhlakani bokwenziwa, ososayensi bathole okuhlangenwe nakho emsebenzini njengesici esihlobene kakhulu nokuphazamiseka kokulala kanye nenhlalakahle iyonke . Abahlanganyeli ababike ukuthi bazizwa bedabukile, becasukile, noma becindezelekile emsebenzini babonisa amazinga aphansi enhlalakahle, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi imboni noma ubulili bunjani.
Ukulinganisela phakathi komsebenzi nokuphila kanye nokuphumula kubalulekile empilweni yomsebenzi
Ucwaningo luphinde lwembula ukuthi labo ababike ukulinganisela okungcono emsebenzini nasekuphileni kanye nokwaneliseka okukhulu emsebenzini bavame ukubika inhlalakahle ephezulu iyonke . Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imizwa yokudumazeka noma ukucasuka emsebenzini yayihlotshaniswa nenhlalakahle ephansi. Lawa maphethini ayefana kuzo zonke izinhlaka ezihlaziyiwe, okuphakamisa ukuthi ukucindezeleka okuhlobene nomsebenzi kuyindlela eyinhloko lapho umsebenzi uthinta khona ubuthongo kanye nempilo.
Abalobi balolu cwaningo, abavela kuphrojekthi ye-Supporting Healthy Aging at Work (SHAW) yase-University of Edinburgh, bagcizelela ukuthi imiphumela inemiphumela eqondile kubaqashi, abenzi benqubomgomo, kanye nochwepheshe bezempilo . U-Athanasios Tsanas, umcwaningi oholayo, waphawula ukuthi "ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yokuhlaziya idatha evela ezigulini ezinezinkinga zezokwelapha, ngamangala ngosayizi omkhulu wezinkinga zokulala kuleli qembu ngaphandle kokuxilongwa kwangaphambilini."
UDkt. Belinda Steffan, umbhali ohlangene walolu cwaningo, wanezela, “Sasazi ukuthi ukulala kuthinta umsebenzi kanye nokuphambene nalokho, kodwa samangala ukuthi laba bantu abangebona abelaphi babehlupheka kangakanani buthule .” Abacwaningi bagcizelela ukuthi ikhwalithi yokulala kumele ibe yinto eza kuqala eminyangweni yezabasebenzi kanye nezinqubomgomo zezempilo zasemsebenzini.
Emongweni wokuguga okusheshayo kwabantu abaneminyaka yokusebenza—e-UK, isisebenzi esisodwa kwabathathu singaphezu kweminyaka engama-50— ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukulala kahle kanye nendawo yokusebenza enempilo kuvela njengesu elibalulekile lokugcina abasebenzi asebekhulile bephilile futhi besebenza isikhathi eside . Idatha evela ocwaningweni lwase-Edinburgh ikhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi ukucindezeleka okuhlobene nomsebenzi akugcini nje ngokuthinta ukusebenza kodwa futhi kungena ebuthongweni futhi kubhidliza ikhwalithi yokuphila kwezigidi zabantu. Ukubhekana naleli qiniso akuyona into yokunethezeka, kodwa kuyisidingo sempilo yomphakathi.
