On a recent hang I couldn't get comfortable in my hammock. The peak bag I use to keep an extra layer in kept sliding against my head, which isn't usually the case. I was tired enough I just endured until the morning. The next evening I took some time to figure out what was going on.
When I had set up the hammock initially, the ground sloped enough that I didn't realize I had the foot end of the hammock significantly higher than the head end. It was about the same height off the ground, but looking at the hammock ridgeline showed it was way out of level. This caused me to slide to the low point of the hammock during the previous night, which is normally the center, but due to it being out of level caused my head to be closer to one end than is normal.
Readjust the whoopies. Problem solved. Second night was much more comfy. Just wanted to throw this out there for others to learn from my lesson. This is one of those things that comes with experience. So from now on, I'm going to double check level on my ridgeline before I commit to the setup for the night.
