Health Benefits of Sleeping in a Hammock

The first (and obvious) difference between sleeping in a bed and sleeping in a hammock is your body position. However, it’s important to remember that your sleeping position is one of the keys to getting quality sleep. A hammock is a lot like a cradle, as it surrounds you, relieves spinal pressure, and has a gentle rocking motion. The vestibular system is activated by the rocking and swaying motion. This system is responsible for helping to relax your body for sleep, like the way a rocking motion will put a child to sleep. These factors combine to help hammock sleepers attain longer, deeper quality sleep.
