Alright, I have been trying my hammock for about a year now. Hennessy Asym Backpacker Ultralight with a maccat deluxe tarp.
I absolutely love the setup. I do mostly backpacking trips with my MSR hubba tent as I haven't figured out the hammock thing yet. The last time I got to truely try it was car camping with some friends. They set up their tent and I set up my hammock. After which it proceeded to downpoor for the rest of the night. Their tent turned into a pool (crappy tent) and my hammock was amazingly dry, not a drop of water. I love my hammock!!!
Now skip forward to 2:00am. I wake up and feel woozy/just sort of off. I can't get comfortable, I retire to the car and sleep like a baby for the rest of the night.
Every time I try my hammock I get this feeling about half way through the night. I don't understand it. I fall asleep fine, and then wake up feeling weird. I have resolved any comfort issues I have and now fall asleep in like 5 minutes, it's just the not being able to sleep all night thing.
Does anybody else have this issue? I really love my hammock and the setup, ease of use, weight, and amazing storm resistance. If I could only get past this I would be all set. I have a little issue with warmth management and am either too hot or a little chilly which may be contributing. I am going to try setting it up in my house with a nice little underquit and see if that changes anything. But even on nights where I don't wake up due to temperature, I still wake up and have this strange feeling.
UGH, am I alone on this? It really sucks. sorry for the long post.
