hyperactiveness
Constant frantic motion
Hyperactiveness is the quality of being hyperactive—excessively energetic, restless, or unable to stay still.
The word is a less common variant of hyperactivity, which is preferred in medical contexts like ADHD diagnoses: The child's hyperactiveness made it hard for her to sit through class.
Both forms describe the same condition of abnormally elevated activity levels.
