Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I ara ake o tatou tīpuna i te rā, ā, ka moe i te rā e kō ana, engari nā te oranga o nāianei me te whakamarama waihanga kua kore e ōrite tēnei mahi. Heoi, kua kitea e nga kairangahau he hapori tuawhenua i Brazil e whai tonu ana i nga huringa moe o mua - ahakoa he rite tonu te hangarau ki o hoa noho taone. Kei te whakamahere rātau ināianei ki te ako i tēnei rōpū kia mōhio ake ai me pēhea te kino o te nekehanga mai i te auau māori ki tō tātou hauora. Kua kitea e ngā kairangahau tētahi hapori tuawhenua i Brazil e whai ana i ngā 'huringa moe māori' (whakaahua pūtake) o ō tātou tīpuna i ara ake i te rā, ā, i te nuinga o te wā ka haere ki te moenga i te wā ka taka. Kei te whakamahere ngā tohunga ki te ako i tēnei rōpū kia mōhio ake ai me pēhea te kino o tō tātou nekehanga atu i te auau māori ki tō tātou hauora. I kitea te hapori i te taone iti o Baependi i te tonga-rawhiti o Brazil i te kawanatanga o Minais Gerais. I ako ngā kairangahau o te Whare Wānanga o Surrey me te Whare Wānanga o São Paulo i te iwi, ā, i uiui ki a rātau mō ō rātau tikanga moe me ō rātau tauira moe. 'I roto i ngā taone nui, ko te wātea o te hiko iti kua kawea mai e mātau ki a mātau ngā rama waihanga me te tini o ētahi atu pūrere hiko e whakataetae ana ki a mātau e moe ana i te pō,' i kī te kaituhi matua a Tākuta Malcolm von Schantz mai i te Whare Wānanga o Surrey. Ko te hua, he nui ake te roa o te moenga o te nuinga o tatou i to o tatou tupuna, ā, he iti ake te moe o te tokomaha o tatou. 'Ahakoa he hiko, he pouaka whakaata hoki kei te aroaro o te iwi o Baependi, he tino rite tonu te noho o te iwi ki o nga whakatupuranga o mua. 'Ko te ako i tēnei taupori, he rite ki te āhei ki te titiro whakamuri ki ngā whakatupuranga o mua mā te tiriti, me te whakarato i tētahi tirohanga ki te painga o tēnei tauira māori i runga i to rātau hauora.' Ko te kaituhi kōrero a Roger Ekirch o Virginia Tech i whakakitea tata nei he 'rahi nui o ngā taunakitanga hītori' e tohu ana i te wā e moe ana tātou i roto i ngā wāhanga. I kitea e ia neke atu i te 500 ngā tohutoro e pā ana ki ngā tūpuna e moe ana i ngā wā poto e rua i te pō. Ko te katoa...
Kua kitea e te rangahau he hapori o Brazil me nga tikanga moe 'pre-industrial'. E hiahia ana rātau ki te whakatika i te 6.30am, ā, ka haere ki te moenga, i te toharite, i te 21.20pm. Ahakoa te whai wāhi ki te hiko ōrite ki ō rātou hoa noho tāone. Ko ngā kainoho o te tāone e tū ana i te 7.15 i te ata, ā, ka haere ki te moenga i te 22.20 i te pō. E ai ki ngā mātanga ko te take tēnei nā te mea ko te nuinga o te rōpū ā-rohe e mahi ana i waho. Nā reira he ōrite ngā huringa 'tūturu' ki ō tātou tīpuna o mua i te mahi. I kitea te hapori i te taone iti o Baependi. Kei te whakamahere ngā kairangahau ināianei ki te ako i tēnei rōpū kia mōhio ake ai me pēhea te nekehanga atu i te auau māori e kino ai ki tō tātou hauora.
