It seems that being rocked really does help you sleep better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On different evenings, researchers from The University of Geneva monitored the sleep of healthy adults both in a stationary bed and in a rocking bed that gently swayed through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Results showed that, when they slept in the swaying bed, the participants tended to nod off more quickly, had deeper sleep and stayed asleep for longer with less awakenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a rocking night&#8217;s sleep they also performed better in memory tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocking appears to change patterns of brainwaves associated with sleep and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve written about how being rocked is so soothing in my book <a href=\"https:\/\/kimjoneswrites.co.uk\/?p=361\">222 Ways to Trick Yourself to Sleep<\/a>.
