There has been much discussion of this here, with a wide range of responses.
Some have found a way to not get out, some take bottles to bed with them to fill.
I get out, look at the night sky, watch for critters, take a big deep breath afterward and crawl back into my downy goodness knowing that my sleepy judgement did not cause any discomfort in my bed.

I just get up and go myself....see the moon or extreme darkness....or a cool shooting star!
But a lot like to stay in the hammock to excrete...here are some archives on the subject...Relief from the Hammock
Shug...the get up and go

You can, some do. I don't.
Besides, it'll smell like pee under your tarp and what if I splash my backpack or other gear.
Some use a pee bottle.
Pee at your own risk.

The drill is exactly the same as it is in a tent: unzip/remove your bag/quilt, stand up, walk a civilized distance from your shelter, let 'er rip.

Well since your bugnet has a zipper on one side you definitely want to make sure to aim toward the opposite side so you don't get any pee on your zipper pulls.
I just pee all over myself and everything on or under me. It keeps people from 'lingering' as Jerry Seinfeld would say, and from stealing my gear.
Seriously, I get up to pee, imagine rolling over to pee out of your hammock, only to flip out and land in your pee, possibly injuring your johnson in the process. Or even getting it caught in your bugnet zipper!!!!
I'm pretty sure you spelled awkward wrong

Because of a back injury, I have to pee 5-6 times a night. I used to just roll over and go from the hammock but now I use a bottle. I find the bottle very convenient (warm in the winter and no bugs in the summer). If you're going to pee out of the hammock, make sure that you put your belongings on the uphill side.
