Okay... so I also do okay on swings, merry-go-rounds, and roller-coasters, too.

Hmmm... (pondering)
Perhaps, it's the "FUN" factor that keeps the nausea quelled.

I envy you if you find driving to be "fun." XD

I love a nice sway. It's kinda weird, ever since I was a kid, I kind of imagined myself moving back and forth in a swaying motion when I couldn't fall asleep. So swaying in a hammock is like making that a reality, which is only more potent than the imagined form.

Never considered the concept a hammock could make me motion sick. I've only been motion sick in a car once; going up to Tuolumne meadows from the valley reading a climbing magazine after a big sugary snack, obviously not driving. In monohull sailboats excessive rolling can send me to the rail. In my hammock I am fortunately blissfully ignorant.
