Every new parent knows, or learns pretty quickly, that rocking can calm a fussy baby when it's time to take a nap.

But the benefits of gentle motion may extend past the swaddling stage, because two new studies showed that rocking also helps grown-ups,

both human and mouse, get a good night's sleep. The two research efforts are in the journal

Current Biology. It should be no surprise that movement can be soothing. Think of how many times

you fall in asleep on a train. But can motion really induce a dose? And make for a deeper sleep?

To find out, researchers invited 18 healthy volunteers for a sleepover.

So they came to the lab and they slept one time on a stationary position, normal bed,

and one night where they got rock.

And what we find is actually compared to a stationary night,

a whole night of rocking sleep has a beneficial impact,

not only on sleep initiation, which means they fall asleep faster,

but also on sleep maintenance as we saw that they have less micro-awakening during

the night.

Subjects who rocked also did better on a memory test the next morning than did the stiller

sleepers.
