Ukulala kubalulekile, siyazi ukuthi, nokho, ucwaningo lwamuva e-United States luthole ukuthi izingane zasenkulisa ezithatha isihlwathi sehora elilodwa nsuku zonke zithuthukisa ikhono lazo lokugcina ulwazi kanye nokufunda kwazo konke.
Ucwaningo luphakamisa nokuthi lelihora lokulala lingenye yezihluthulelo zokuhlanganisa ulwazi olutholwe ngesikhathi sokuqala kwentuthuko nezemfundo.
Ukwenza i-napping kuthuthukisa ukukhula ngokomzimba nangokwezinzwa ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-5 ubudala.
Abacwaningi e-University of Massachusetts Sleep Unit basikisela ukuthi izingane zasenkulisa zinekhono elingcono lokukhumbula lokho ezikufundayo uma zilala emini. Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo uRebecca Spencer, owayehileleke ngqo kulolu cwaningo, uthe ngemva kokutadisha ukuziphatha kwezingane zasenkulisa ezingaphezu kuka-40, imiphumela ibonise ukuthi ukulala kancane kancane kuqinisa inkumbulo futhi kusiza ukuhlanganisa ukufunda ezigabeni zokuqala zokukhula.
Ucwaningo olunalezi zingane ezingama-40 lubandakanya imidlalo yememori ebonakalayo lapho bekufanele babambe ngekhanda ukuma kwezithombe ezahlukahlukene abazibonisiwe. Lokhu kuhlolwa kwememori kusetshenziswe ezinganeni ezingama-40 ngemuva kokuthatha isilinganiso semizuzu engu-77 yokulala.
Imiphumela yabe isiqhathaniswa ezinsukwini kamuva nokuhlolwa okufanayo, kodwa ngaphandle kokuba izingane zilale. Ekuphetheni, abacwaningi bathole ukuthi lapho izingane zilala ihora elilodwa, zazikhumbula u-10% ngaphezulu kwezindawo zesithombe uma kuqhathaniswa nokuhlolwa lapho zivukile.
Olunye ucwaningo luye lwembula imiphumela efanayo maqondana nabantu abadala. Kodwa-ke, kuze kube manje, bekungekho idatha yokusekela ngokwesayensi imiphumela yokulala emini ezinganeni ezincane.
Ngalolu cwaningo, abacwaningi bakhombisile ukuthi lesi sikhathi lapho abancane bethatha isihlwathi emini, sibasiza ukuba bakwamukele kangcono konke abakufundayo futhi, ngokuya ngalokhu, bafeze izinhloso zabo zemfundo phakathi neminyaka yabo yokuqala. Umthombo
