Followup question for hammock sleepers: on back? side? stomach?
You might be surprised at the comfort with a good hammock. I sleep on my
stomach in a bed and assumed I would never get a good nights rest in a hammock. But, as John suggests, you sleep diagonally in the hammock with your feet somewhat elevated above your head. The slow rocking motion and even support across your entire body and I’ve never slept better. Very rarely do I wake up in the hammock or need to roll over, unlike a night in a tent where I constantly reposition.
The previously mentioned son sleeps in nothing but a hammock - he doesn’t own a bed. I had to put eye bolts in the wall for him and when he left for college, he bought a stand. I’m curious to find out what happens when a wife shows up.
I was doubtful when I first started, but getting the proper equipment, including bug net and under quilt, makes a big difference. I still tent camp because the tent is actually a little easier to erect, but on a cool night with some solid trees and you can’t beat the hammock.
Ted, with a decade of experience under my belt running university dormitories, I can assure you that your son has been rehearsing for having a wife and auditioning candidates with great vigor and enthusiasm.
