In the study, 12 healthy adults napped in a custom-made bed that could rock gently like a hammock or remain stationary. Each participant took one 45-minute afternoon nap while the bed was stationary and another nap while it was in motion.

The problem with that article is that they didn't actually use a hammock.

Well...... I guess we can just can this whole thread then.

I do agree that the rocking motion of a hammock helps people fall asleep faster though.
It would have been interesting to see the results of having people sleep in a hammock for the first time.
