Rocking Bed. Sleep Tight & Lose Weight.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I use to belong to a category of people who suffer from sleeping disorders. After several close calls of falling asleep behind the wheel I stopped taking sleeping pills and decided to do something about my problem… I decided to use rocking motion. Rocking motion is a natural way to help a person to fall asleep. For thousands of years mothers were rocking their babies in their arms in order to help babies fall asleep. Later someone built the first cradle… We also know, that the 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. I am very pleased with the results. I sleep much-much better now… The first gear motor I installed was faster, and while it did not help me a lot with my sleeping problem, I noticed that I started loosing weight. I kind of expected that because I knew rocking motion suppresses appetite. (Do you remember being on a boat and how the wave action strongly affected you in the form of motion sickness? You were not hungry, were you?) We all spend hours a day watching TV. You watch TV while sitting on the couch; I was watching TV while being on my bed. Believe it or not, I lost some significant weight simply because I did not want to make late night trips to my fridge. Losing weight was not my goal and thus I switched to the slower gear motor.
Further modifications.
In my bed I am now using a slower and a much quieter gear motor than what is shown in the video. I am currently working on installing a stepper motor to work with the bed. With the stepper motor, the rocking system would offer dozens of distinctive rocking motions defined by adjustable amplitudes and adjustable speeds. The stepper motor would also be significantly quieter than the current setup. 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 and/or loose weight. Also, the bed I am currently using hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg provides side-to-side motion only. However the suspension of the bed allows me to easily 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 literally thousands of combinations of trajectories, speeds, amplitudes, and timing. Medical studies will have to be conducted to help the user to choose the appropriate type of the motion or switch to a different motion, if necessary.
Vestibular apparatus.
The vestibular apparatus is the part of our inner ear that gets affected by the rocking motion. Rocking action on the apparatus causes our reactions such as relaxation or motion sickness. There is no need to rock the whole human body in order to get the reactions. While considering the design of my system, I decided to make a less expensive bed that swings about a point at the footboard area. The headboard area however still swings at full amplitude (10 inch stroke).
Safety.
To eliminate excessive forces, I used as weak of a drive as possible. I have chosen to suspend the bed on chains as they can hold 2,000 lb. The headboard end of the bed is suspended on longer chains. Longer chains give the ability to move the bed from side to side and do very little work against gravity. Such a design allows rocking of 500 pounds while using a relatively weak drive. Safety guards will eliminate pinch point hazards. As a precaution the bed should not be installed close to the walls or heavy objects.
Noise.
Another advantage of stepper motors is that they do not have gears and they do not make noise. The suspension of the bed makes no noise at all. The gear motor I am using now makes barely detectable, low frequency monotonic noise. Such a sound can be easily covered with low, relaxing music, sounds of ocean tide, rain, etc.
