It's a sensory thing. Popping your joints triggers receptors in your joints that tell your body where their position in space is. It's kind of like using a weighted blanket. It releases feel good chemicals that make you want to continue.
When I worked with kids (and some adults) we used joint compression (kind of the opposite of popping joints) to calm them.
