Rocking gently helps your memory and your sleep

The article The Neuroscience of ‘Rock-a-Bye Baby’ discusses the effect of rocking and movement on sleep and performance. Some conclusions:
- people slept better when their beds were gently rocked during the night. And in the morning their recollections of the previous day were better.
- people doodling remembered better what they heard than those who didn't.
- A 2016 study;showed that children with A.D.H.D. who were allowed to fidget — bouncing around and moving gently in place — performed better on a concentration task the more they moved.
