I rolled or rocked myself to sleep since I was an infant until I joined the Navy and had to quit because of embarrassment. My identical twin also required rolling in order to get to sleep. We also sang to ourselves or hummed tunes along with the rolling. Several years ago when the horrors of Romanian Orphanages were exposed to the west, it was discovered that the majority of orphans rolled themselves to sleep at night. The cause was suspected to be the lack of physical affection and their emotional needs not being met.

In the case of my twin and myself suffering from the lack of maternal affection and being subjected to constant and continual mental and physical abuse from our birth mother we found that rolling comforted us and lulled us to sleep.

Are featherbeds good for children?

Featherbeds may not be the best option for children due to potential allergy risks and breathing difficulties. They may also be a suffocation hazard for young children who are not able to easily move or reposition themselves during sleep. It is generally recommended to choose firmer, more supportive mattresses and bedding for children to ensure proper spinal alignment and safe sleep.
