fidgeters
Can't sit still
Fidgeters are people who fidget—who make small, restless movements out of nervousness, boredom, or excess energy.
The word usually appears in contexts distinguishing personality types or learning styles: Fidgeters may benefit from standing desks.
Some fidgeters tap their feet, others click pens or bounce their knees.
