I-Phaphama, Ufuna Ukulala
Ndiye ndihamba ngehlabathi ukususela ekubeni ndandineminyaka emithandathu ubudala. Ndine thamsanqa ukuba ndingayi kuphazamiseka gqitha yinqwelo yeejet ngexesha lokuhamba kwam. Kodwa emva kokubuya ebudeni beentsuku ezili-10 ukuya eTokyo, ndagqitywa ngamadolo kunye ne-jet lag ehlala malunga neenyanga.
Yintoni i-jet lag? Isimo somzimba esiphumela ekutshintsheni ngokukhawuleza kwisigqi somzimba (circledian rhythm). Ngokuqhelekileyo kubakho emva kokudlulela kwiindawo eziliqela ngokukhawuleza, njengokuba zihamba ngeenqwelo ezide, kwaye zihlala zikhula xa zihamba kwinqanaba elisempuma.
Isiphumo kukuba ukhathele kwaye ucefe emva kwendiza ende, njengoko umzimba wakho uphendukela kwiinguqu zangexesha elikhawulezayo ukusuka kumgama omde ngexesha elifutshane. Ngethuba lakho lomzimba lilahliwe, kunzima ukulandela isimiso esivamile. Umzimba wakho awugcini ixesha lokuya kuwo, ubusuku nemini kuxutywe.
Uhambo oluvela eChicago ukuya eLos Angeles olunexesha lokuhamba kweeyure ezimbini kuphela lungaze lubangele iimpawu ze-jet lag, kodwa iindiza ezininzi kunokuba zingabangela ukukhathala kunye nobuthaka obubanzi obudibene ne-jet lag. I-Jet lag ixhomekeke ekuhambeni ubuncinane kwimimandla emine yexesha, kodwa iindiza ezininzi kwixesha elifanayo (ulawulo olungasenyakatho-ntshona) zingavelisa iintlobo zeempawu ezifanayo.
Nokuba uMbutho WezoThutho Wamazwe ngamazwe (i-IATA), iqela loorhwebo elimele iinqwelo-moya zehlabathi, liyaqaphela imiphumo ye-jet inokuba nayo kubagibeli.
Kulo hlobo, lenze i-app ye-SkyZen. Isetyenziswe ngesilwane somzimba we-Jawbone, i-app ivumela abagibeli ukuba bajonge imisebenzi yabo kunye neepatheni zokulala kulo lonke iipiliyoni zendiza.
Abasebenzisi bangangena kwinombolo yabo yendiza, umhla kunye neklasi yokuhamba, kwaye i-SkyZen izakuqokelela ngokuzenzekelayo kunye nokudibanisa idatha kwaye inike abantu abahamba ngeenkcukacha ngokwenza umsebenzi wabo wendiza kunye nezicwangciso zokunciphisa i-jet lag ngaphambi nangemva kwendiza.
Kuya kunika neengcebiso ezifanelekileyo eziza kuvumela abasebenzisi ukuba baphucule amava abo okuhamba kunye nokulwa ne-jet lag xa bewela imida yexesha.
Esinye isisombululo sokuba abahambi bomoya bafunga ngabo nguMelatonin, ihomoni yendalo eyenziwa ngumzimba womzimba wepineal. Kodwa xa uchatshazelwa yi-jet lag, ukuthatha ipilisi ye-melatonin kunokukunceda ulale kwaye unciphise iimpawu. Ingathengwa nasiphi na isicatshulwa okanye i-vitamin store okanye kwikhompyutha. Hlola nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokuba uyithathe, ingakumbi kulabo abanokuba ngamachiza anokuchaphazelekayo.
