In my 20's I used a fishnet hammock, CCF pad and SB when camping and had no issues falling asleep.
Getting back into hammocking in my 50's I did experience the wonderful comfort of laying in one during the day but had issues falling asleep.
My own theory on this is the Inner Ear detects the slightest movement and when laying in a hammock any body movement cause a slight hammock swing.
This movement will wake you or prevent you from falling asleep. Getting the body conditioned to this movement took me many nights hanging
on the porch until I got comfortable with the movement.
Then there is the different sleeping position. We are creatures of habit and if you can't mimic your bedroom position you will have issues falling asleep.
For me, I solved this issue by buying, trying and selling several hammocks until I could fine one that allowed me to sleep on my side which is what I do in my bed.
I hope these tips help you they worked for me.
