Ngaba unengxaki yokulala? UDrew Ackerman's 'Ukulala Nam' inokuba yimbumbulu yakho yomlingo.I-CSA Plastock Abantu abathathu baseMelika-uJeffrey C. Hall, uMichael Rosbash kunye noMichael W. Young-bafumene umsebenzi wobomi babo bonke befunda ukulala kwindawo ebonakalayo kwinyanga ephelileyo, xa oososayensi abathathu banikwa i-2017 Ibhaso likaNobel kwezamayeza kuphando lwabo ngendlela iwotshi yomzimba elawulwa ngayo kwaye kwenzeka ntoni emzimbeni ukubangela ukulala phakathi kwabantu. NgoNovemba, isifundo esitsha sokunqongophala kokulala epapashwe kwiNdalo yalumkisa ukuba ukungalali kunokuba neziphumo ezibi, ukusukela ekutyebeni kakhulu kunye nemicimbi yezempilo yengqondo ukuya kumngcipheko okhulayo womhlaza, ukubetha kunye nesifo sentliziyo. Olu phononongo luye lwanezikhumbuzo ezibandayo zokuba ukungalali ngokwaneleyo kubangela ukuba ii-neurons zengqondo ziyeke ukudubula ngokuchanekileyo. Usenokude uzamise kwidesika yakho ngoku, uzibuze ukuba yintoni isosi eyimfihlo kuleyo yokulala.
Okuvuyisayo kukuba, kukho isisombululo esingabandakanyi iipilisi okanye ukucacisa okucacileyo. UDrew Ackerman usandula ukubhiyozela iminyaka emine kunye nama-episodes angama-600 epodcast yakhe emangalisayo, Lala Nam . Ngeziqendu ezithathu ezitsha veki nganye, iseshoni nganye yenziwe malunga nemizuzu engama-50 yokubhabha, uhlobo lweentsomi ezithandekayo ezithandekayo. Kodwa ayimangalisi kangako okanye inyanzelisa kangangokuba ube uvukile. Ngokuchasene noko. Banikezela nje ngokwaneleyo ukugcina uphazamiseka kwinjongo yakho yokulala, ngaphandle kokukugcina unomdla ukuze wenze lo msebenzi unzima. Ukusebenza kumabali akhe kuyo yonke iveki, u-Ackerman ukhokela umphulaphuli wakhe oleleyo kwiihambo eziya kwiTrader Joe's, iziqendu ze Star Trek kunye nezinye iimeko ezingaqhelekanga. Umboniso unqabile phakathi kwee-podcast ngenxa yokuba umamkeli ngokwenyani akafuni ukuba umamele umboniso opheleleyo; enyanisweni, u-Ackerman angakujonga njengokungaphumeleli ukuba usavukile ukuphela kwayo.
U-Ackerman, owaziwa njengo-Scooter kubaphulaphuli bakhe, ubesoloko ebamba lo mboniso ukusukela ngo-2013. Igama lakhe lesidlaliso lathwalwa kumlinganiswa awamdalayo awayecinga ukuba uza kuba nefuthe lokulala: yile nto acinga ukuba ingavakala ngathi yi-Scooter Libby ukuthatha u-Abby Othandekayo. Umntu usebenze, kwaye wanceda u-Ackerman ukuba enze amayelenqe ahlekisayo kwaye antsokothileyo.

Kwezi ntsuku, uAckerman ucinga ngaye njengoHarvey Pekar wokwenza abantu banqumle. NjengoPekar, usebenza umsebenzi oqhelekileyo kunye nokuzivelela kwizinto eziqhelekileyo. Ndiyinkwenkwana, uxelele uMbonisi. Ndicinga ukuba uPekar wayemhle curmudgeonly. Ndiyakwazi ukufumana izinto ezinokuphindeka ebomini bam okanye eziza kum emva koko ndizinike ngendlela eyozelayo ndibuyele ebantwini.
UAckerman yena uyasokola ukulala busuku ngabunye, kwaye wayenobuthongo obukhulu njengomntwana. Emva kweminyaka yophando, ekugqibeleni wayifumana indlela eyamncedayo. Ndizama ukuba nesiko lokulala ngokungaguquguqukiyo kuba ndifunde kakhulu malunga nokulala, kwaye yile nto isebenza ngokwenene, utshilo u-Ackerman. Ndifuna ukulala ngexesha elithile, ngoko ndiyeka yonke into endiyenzayo kwiyure engaphambi koko. Ukuba konke okunye kusilele, ukuba ndilahlekile ngokwenene, ndiyaphakama ebhedini ndifunde esofeni lam. Ngomculo wakhe wasebusuku, nangona kunjalo, u-Ackerman umamela iklasikhi okanye i-jazz kunepodcast yakhe. Kuyaqondakala ukuba ukulandela ilizwi lomntu lokungcakaza kungenakho ukuba neziphumo ezifanayo zokuphumla kwingqondo. Uyabazi ubuhlungu bokungalali okungapheliyo, kwaye ukhumbuza abaphulaphuli ebusuku ukuba zibalulekile ngokwaneleyo ukuze zilale kamnandi ebusuku.
Umbalisi webali ubomi bakhe bonke, uAckerman waqala ukuyila amabali besebancinci. Uyabakhumbula ukuba bayathandwa, kodwa hayi kangako ngesimbo sokuthetha apho babethunyelwa khona njengobungqongqo babo. Onke amabali endiwabalisileyo ayemangalisa ngokwenene. Kanye kwibanga lesixhenxe, iklasi yonke yayiqhekeka kwaye bendinexhala, ndiyazihlaza ? Kwakuyimbali yase-Indiana Jones apho ingaphakathi kwempumlo yomntu. Ndiyazi ukuba bendisoloko ndinayo into engaqhelekanga, kwaye ndafumanisa njengoko ndibalisa amabali, baya kuba mandi kwaye babe buthuntu kwaye bahambe.
Kwiminyaka kamva, emva kweengcamango ezininzi kunye nokugxeka, wayekulungele ukuqala ukurekhoda iindaba zakhe ezingaqhelekanga njengoluhlu lwamabali okulala. Kwabo bazibuza ukuba kutheni ipodcast yakhe isebenza kakuhle nakwezona zinto zilala kakhulu, uAckerman ucebisa le ithiyori: Ndicinga ukuba abantu akufuneki balale. Njengoko nditshilo kumboniso, kuyanyanzeleka. Ngumnikelo wokulala. Abantu baziva becinezelekile. Kutheni le nto ingasebenzi? Kutheni ndingalali? Ndicinga ukuba le yinxalenye yayo. Kwaye kukho ipesenti ethile yabantu abafuna ibali elingenasidima, lokulala ngokungafaniyo nengxolo emhlophe.
U-Ackerman uhlangabezana nomceli mngeni wokurekhoda umboniso emva kweminyaka emine ngokufumana inkululeko kwisinyanzelo sakhe. Uphepha ngabom nantoni na engundaba-mlonyeni. Uchaza indlela yakhe njengokuthintela ezopolitiko kunye nantoni na enzulu kakhulu eza kuvusa abantu okanye ibavuselele. Uyibiza ngokuba yindawo yolingo evulekileyo. Kukhulula ngokuyilayo nangona kuyinselele kwaye inazo zonke ezi ngxaki. Yiloo nto endenza ndiqhubeke. Igcina indikhuthaza. Oko, nokwazi ukuba ukuba uye wancedwa nokuba yipesenti encinci yabantu ukuba balale kancinci, uya kuba nempembelelo enkulu kubomi babo.
