Ko te "moe" i waenga i te whakangungu me te whakaora tētahi o ngā mea tino nui mō tō tātou hauora me te manawanui. Kua whakaatuhia e te rangahau a Tākuta Charles Samuels o te Canadian Sleep Centre, ko te nui rawa o te whakangungu me te kore e nui te okioki ka pā kino ki te mahi tinana me te oranga tinana.

Ko te okiokinga, te kai totika me te whakangungu ngā pou tokomanawa o te mahi me te hauora whānui. Ā, he wāhanga nui te moe o te okiokinga. Mō te hauora, he iti noa ngā tikanga me ngā rongoā e rite ana te hiranga ki te moe. Ko te moe te hautoru o ō tātou oranga. Pērā i te pana, e hono ana i tō tātou hauora, te whakaora me te mahi ki ngā taha katoa.

Ko te Tīma Sky o mua te tīma tuatahi i te ao pahikara rori ngaio ki te mōhio ki te hiranga o te moe ki ngā taraiwa ngaio. Nā konei i whakapau kaha ai rātou ki te kawe i ngā kete moe ki te wāhi i ia wā e whakataetae ana rātou huri noa i te ao.

He maha ngā kaieke haereere ka whakaiti i te wā moe, ka tāpiri atu i ngā whakangungu kaha nā te korenga o te wā. I te tekau mā rua karaka i waenganui pō, kei te whakaharatau tonu ahau i te motuka, ā, i te pōuri tonu, ka ara ake ahau ka haere ki te whakakorikori tinana i te ata. Ko te tumanako ka tutuki wawe te hua e hiahiatia ana. Engari he utu tēnei ki tō hauora. He maha ngā wā ka pā te iti o te moe ki te hauora, te kounga o te oranga, me te roanga o te oranga, tae atu ki te pouri, te pikinga o te taumaha, me te pikinga nui o te mōrearea o te whiu me te mate huka.

Mō te whakakori tinana, ka taea e te whakakori tinana te arahi ki te mumura whakapeka (mō te wā poto), e hiahia ana kia nui te wā whakaora kia mau tonu ai te taurite ārai-mumura mō te wā roa.

I te aroaro o te mooni he tokomaha te hunga e whakangungu nui ana, e kore hoki e moe. Ina koa, i kī a Tākuta Charles Samuel: "Me nui ake te okiokinga o ēnei rōpū tāngata kia ora ai rātou, engari kei te whakangungu tonu rātou i te kaha teitei. Ko te huarahi me te nui o te whakangungu e nui ake ana i te kaha o te tinana ki te ora mā te moe, kāore e pai. Ko te whakatutuki i te pānga whakangungu e hiahiatia ana ka arahi hoki ki te hekenga āta o ngā taumata hauora."

Mā ngā rohe tere o te manawa ka mārama koe ki te kaha o tō whakangungu o nāianei. Hei whakatau tata i te pānga o tētahi wā whakangungu ki te whakapakari tinana, ki te whakapai ake rānei i te mahi, me whakaaro koe ki te kaha o te whakangungu, te roa, te wā whakaora, me ngā whakahounga. E pā ana tēnei mātāpono ki ngā whakangungu motuhake me ngā kaupapa whakangungu whānui.

Ahakoa he toa Ōrimipia koe, he kaieke paihikara tauhou rānei; ka tutuki ngā hua whakangungu pai rawa atu mā te moe nui, te nui o te moe e tika ana, me te kounga o te moe e tika ana.
