fidgeter
Can't sit still
A fidgeter is someone who fidgets—making small, restless movements out of nervousness, boredom, or excess energy.
The word often appears when distinguishing types of people: Fidgeters may benefit from standing desks.
It can suggest someone habitually unable to sit still: He was a chronic fidgeter during meetings.
