    More science saying hammocks = better sleep

    Below is a blurb for a topic on NPR's Science Friday show for tomorrow. Might be worth a listen. Those interested but unable to catch the show on the radio can also listen to the podcast tomorrow evening available on NPR's website.


    Swaying Of Hammock Lulls Brain Into Deeper Sleep
    "Reporting in Current Biology, researchers write that a rocking motion, long employed by parents to lull infants to sleep, synchronizes brainwaves, leading to deeper sleep with a quicker onset. Study author Michel Muhlethaler discusses how motion may affect the sleeping brain."

    Looks like there have been several posts in the last few days about hammocks in the news. This may just be a rehash, but either way, it looks like the word is getting around.
