Curious: does anyone know of literature that demonstrates beneficial effects of hammocks for folks with back problems??? I've seen multitude of posters on this forum who have said that they use a hammock because of back problems. My own experience is such that I KNOW I sleep better when I'm in a hammock. However, as an obtectivist and scientist, I understand that the easiest person to fool is me.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is any objective scientific literature that shows the benefits/risks of hammocking.

I'm aware of a recent small study that demonstrated benefits of motion while sleeping:

Anyone know of other literature?

Thanks in advance!
