Hammocks and Sleeping Bags????

[Mule]

I may have to go back to using a sleeping bag!
Anyone else having trouble sleeping on your side in a hammock?
When I started camping in hammocks I uses a Big Agnus sleeping bag and pad. I did OK.
Then I began investing in better gear and ended up with two top quilts and two under quilts of the finest quality.
Then, as the story unfolds, I realized why I snore in a hammock and do not on the ground or at home...it's sleeping on my back.
Now I can get comfortable on my side in a wide hammock, but I cannot get the over quilts to behave in cold weather. I barely get them to keep out drafts while laying like a mummy in my Blackbird.
I was just out two nights ago with some friends and they said I snored loudly all night and I wake myself up while trying to doze off because I use a CPAP machine at home and cannot get that to work in the woods, so I am either going to have to go back to a tent and pad, or perhaps a very wide hammock like my stretch side and use the under quilts but sleep in a sleeping bag so I can get on my side.

I have a WBBB and I am able to sleep on my side. I use a UQ and my sleeping bag acts as my TQ. I have the sleeping bag unzipped almost all the way and stick my feet in the bottom of the bag. My feet go in the BB's foot box and I roll on my side. Most of the night I may be on my back but I can roll to the side whenever I want to change positions. I find it is more comfortable sleeping on my left side but have also been able to find the proper position for the right side. Sleeping on my stomach doesn't work for me. I use a small pillow to round out my sleeping equipment.

A custom wide TQ could also help fight cold air entry while changing positions or on your side. Do you have trouble sleeping on your side in the Backbird?

SGR, Yes, I have trouble STAYING on my side in the BB. I always feel like I am bent, doubled up sideways

I was unable to check any of the options. Needed to have a choice of:
No problem sleeping on my side. I have a Clark NA and have slept many wonderful on my side.

I had the same thought. I use a Clark NX-200, but have used Hennessy, Mosquito hammock, WBBB and a few others. I don't see the problem. Sleeping on your stomach, on the other hand, is a different story ...

I use a DIY double stretch side hammock, 11' long. I use a HG 20 deg burrow. Close the snap around my neck, and when I turn to my side, I adjust the TQ around so it still covers my back......RR

Mule,
What about modding your present quilt with an extra baffle/draft tube? or two?
It'd make the quilt wider and possibly solve your cold/fit issues...

Good idea Gargoyle. And thanks too, charley for your comments. I have a wide stretchside and I was thinking a Danger Bird would be good too.
