Hammock gods have a sense of humor

Rule #1 from the hammock gods - There will be no uninterrupted full nights sleep if you are over 40

I can easily live with that! it is the obsession that doctors have with your "back door" that bothers me.

If you want to make them happy, you'll have to offer sacrifices. Burn incense. Practice the rituals.

Every once or twice, relative to the cycle of the full moon, I can actually make it through a full night without the need to water the grass.
Now...
Best nirvana is going to bed at 11:30pmish and coming back to reality at 10am hahahahahahaa.... talk about total nirvana of absolute peace.
Long Live the Hammock

With the right hammock (Warbonnet Blackbird in my case), us near-geriatrics can unzip, roll left and verrrry carefully water the ground under the hammock. I highly recommend it.

Remember, however: do not stash your pack or boots under the hammock before bed!

That's usually where my pack is, so I don't want to do that. Although, on our winter camping episode, I think it was Bic, who mentioned about using a pee tube. A section of PVC that basically lets you relieve yourself while peeing just outside your tarp.

Maybe a guy-thing? Unless I drink a lot at night, I don't have to get up.

Its all about equilibrium in the universe. We get to stand up to water a tree, but have to go more often. It's all about give and take.

Actually: Hammock god rule #1: Thou shalt NOT go to ground....

I had to quit complaining about that when my wife reminded me that I haven't spent the past 25+ years enduring pelvic exams and childbirth (x6)...

The colder it is, the more I get up in the middle of the night. I seriously think it's because my body's metabolic rate is higher to keep me warm and there's water created from breaking down carbs for energy.
