BENEFITS OF A ROCKING BED BASE
BETTER SLEEP
Fall asleep faster and improve the quality of your sleep with a rocking bed base. The rocking motion boosts sleep-related brain waves and prepares the body for deeper sleep with increased REM cycles. Studies have shown that the rocking motion not only leads to better sleep but can also improve long-term memory formation and consolidation during sleep.
BETTER RELAXATION
Studies show that a rocking motion engages the inner ear and increases alpha waves in the brain, triggering endorphins that reduce cortisol, anxiety, and stress. The rocking motion mimics the comforting feeling of being rocked as a child and promotes a sense of calm and safety. Rocking back and forth can also serve as a form of moving meditation, enhancing self-awareness and shifting away from daily worries and concerns.
BETTER CIRCULATION
A gentle rocking motion can help to improve blood circulation by relaxing the blood vessels. As blood circulation improves, so does nutrient delivery, digestion and brain health. Improved blood circulation also means more oxygen is sent to the joints, thereby reducing pain and inflammation, and reduced problems with blood clots, swelling, and varicose veins.
