TotallyOz Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have been strung out on the beach in a hammock and I sleep like a baby. I always just thought it was the comfort of being on the beach, sun blazing and the wind rocking me. Peace. Scientists have now said that the gentle sway of the hammock kick starts our brain and induces us to better sleep. I am sure new swaying beds are coming soon. I just hope they are better than the vibrating bed I once got in a cheap hotel when I was 16 looking to hook up with another guy. That night I slept good as well, but for different reasons. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/06/20/137300311/why-hammocks-make-sleep-easier-deeper?ps=cprs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted June 21, 2011 Members Share Posted June 21, 2011 I never found a hammock that didn't kill my back. When I was younger (Boy Scouts) my head was enamored of hammocks, my back not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure new swaying beds are coming soon. I did my military time assigned to a submarine. Whenever we'd go out to sea everyone would spend the first couple of days sleeping. The gentle sway of the sea would put everyone to sleep. Haven't slept like that in years. Time to buy a hammock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
