Do you enjoy sleeping in a hammock?

I was recalling that summertime when the weather was warm and sunny. I remember I enjoyed falling asleep in a hammock in my backyard. I would take a book with me, lay there reading it and soon I would fall asleep. It was a very pleasant experience - fresh air, gentle swinging of hammock and perfect silence. The sleep felt so good and refreshing. However, I do have a couple of friends who can't sleep in a hammock, cause they somehow get sick from all this swinging. They also get sick on a ferry or on an airplane, so I guess it's has something to do with this motion sickness. Anyway, I would like to hear a word from you - can you and do you like sleeping in a hammock or not?

sleeping in hammock is one of the best simple life can offer. this is the best time to relax and rest. if ure not comfortable with ur back bending, just put a flat wood with cushion in the hammock, ure good to go ;-)

Now that you mentioned it, I went down memory lane so to speak! It's been ages that I've never had the chance to sleep in one but I remember well, I'd lie there with my baby sister, I'd swing us gently so my sister will fall asleep , and while at it I hummed, sang my heart out, and believe me, I've had years doing that because I was the eldest I have five younger sisters. It was fun and really you get drowsy and eventually have a good sleep.

Such a sweet memory! It seems to me that you have been a very good brother for your sisters

I like laying down or being in a hammock but I don't think I will like sleeping on one. First of all, I am not too crazy about the swinging motion while I am laying down. It just makes me feel dizzy and quest on my tummy. Secondly, I don't feel comfortable enough to actually fall asleep in a hammock. But I do want to hang out on one sometimes especially during the summers and a slight breeze is blowing so I wouldn't broil.
