It depends what type of disorder you mean...rocking yourself to sleep isn't a sign of disorder...it may be a sign that your uncomfortable about your living space or there might be something in your life that troubles you anything like that could be the cause x
I'm a 68 and I just started rocking in my sleep and it is wearing me out what can I do to stop this?
Rocking yourself to sleep typically involves swaying back and forth or side to side in a gentle motion to help yourself fall asleep. This repetitive movement can have a calming effect on the body and mind, similar to being rocked in a rocking chair. It is a self-soothing technique that some people find helps them relax and drift off to sleep.
The rocking motion from rocking chairs mimics the motion babies experience in the womb. The familiarity of the movement is thought to be soothing for babies thus putting them to sleep.
