Things are not looking good for me my friends. When I first learned about hammock camping I said, this looks very good. I have to give this a try. I knew that i'm the type of sleeper that usually tosses and turns and very rarely sleeps on my back. It was (and still is) my hope that I can get used to sleeping a whole night through in my hammock. I started out with a good 11' Dream Hammock Sparrow so I didn't go wrong there. I set it up in my house to try it out and as of yet have not stayed in it the whole night. I just give up and hit the bed. Of course I'm doing the diagonal lay, I have a right lay so my feet are on the right but one of the problems I have is that my legs feel like I'm an upside down ballerina. My legs are pressed together and I feel like a mummy or something. I try to fold one or the other, but then there are pressure points under my leg or calf. I had rotator cuff surgery 3 months ago so my shoulder bothered me at first but I think I'm over that. Another problem is trying to get everything situated. I tried laying a blanket over the top, but when I get in and move around to get into the diagonal lay AND keeping the blanket in place is next to impossible. I will eventually get it but it takes a lot of work and moving around to do it. Just seems like a lot of trouble just to get comfortable. I keep thinking that for me, maybe a hammock is only good for a couple of hours in the park on a nice day. Is there any hope me?
