Dutailier Glider Chairs & Ottomans

• Improves deep sleep
• Improves memory consolidation during sleep
• Improves balance
• Reduces anxiety and depression

Studies have shown that the rocking motion helps you fall asleep faster and allows you to sleep more soundly.

This gentle repetitive movement of rocking would also have the effect of improving memory consolidation during sleep (1). Thus, rocking allows quality sleep for all.

Rocking can be considered a treatment given the benefits it brings to people with dementia due to Alzheimer’s or other causes. It helps to reduce anxiety and depression and thereby decrease the consumption of pain medication. It was noted that patients calmed down more quickly when rocking. It is also possible that the gentle rocking motion stimulates the vestibular system located in the inner ear, which can help improve balance. (2)

The findings may be relevant for the development of new approaches for treating patients with  insomnia and mood disorders, as well as older people, who frequently suffer from poor sleep and memory impairments.(3)
