slightly OT:Rocking puts adults to sleep faster

[zonker]

"Babies love to be rocked to sleep. It turns out that we never quite grow out of it.

Grown-ups tucked into a gently swaying bed for the night fell asleep faster and slept deeper, scientists report in the Feb. 4 Current Biology. What’s more, these rocked adults had sharper memories the next morning. Aside from hinting at the next great sleep aid, the results offer clues about how the brain refreshes itself each night."

That's because we're apes. We evolved sleeping in swaying tree branches.

Do they make cradles for adults? Both of my children had cradles that rocked. Very soothing.

That's what I LOVE about my old fashioned FULL WAVE water bed.

I just wiggle my foot and the waves rock me to sleep.

Friends of mine had a waterbed for him, and a regular bed for her.

Separate beds for sleep--neutral ground for monkey business.
Sounds like a plan.
Hope the bedroom is big.
