my daemon docker container doesn't stay running - docker

Question

Having newbie simpleton issues. I have installed docker toolbox on my Windows 10 64bit machine, I previously updated my virtual box 5.0.12 current.
Trying some simple docker examples from james turnbull's book - but running a deamon ubuntu image just stops running immediately and I don't know why.
I run the docker cli and type the following
docker run --name daemon_ubuntu_will -d ubuntu /bin/sh -c "while true; do
echo hello world; sleep 1;done"
this returns the long id and returns to command prompt but if I run the
docker ps
nothing is running and if I run the
docker ps -a
it shows the container is there but status of stopped.
running docker inspect daemon_ubuntu_will

Why doesn't the daemon server stay up?
I can run an interactive container quite happily using
docker run --name mymachine -i -t ubuntu /bin/sh
Can any one suggest what I'm doing wrong?
