Later someone built the first cradle… Rocking motion of hammocks and rocking chairs affects the adults the same way that the rocking motion of the cradle affects infants. Adults become relaxed and often fall asleep. This happens despite the fact that hammocks and rockers are not intended and are inconvenient for the deep, long sleeping. I decided to combine a bed, which is a device intended for sleeping, and the relaxing rocking motion. I took a regular twin-size bed and built a rocking platform for it. My second version of a bed has a stepper motor. With the stepper motor, the rocking system offers dozens of distinctive rocking motions defined by adjustable amplitudes and adjustable speeds. Among the dozens of rocking motions the user will always be able to pin point the motions that do not cause motion sickness and, at the same time, help the user to sleep well. The bed provides side-to-side motion only. However the suspension of the bed allows me to enhance the bed performance. An additional stepper motor drive can be installed on the bed in order to provide head to toe motion, allowing for dozens of motion trajectories between the two synchronized motors. All this will give us nundreds of distinctive combinations of trajectories, speeds, amplitudes, and timing. Medical studies will have to be …
