    Feet Left or Feet Right?

    In our Scout group we were all talking about how we all lay with our feet laying to the left of our heads in our hammocks. We did not attribute it to being due to left or right handed due to we had some of both in the group. None of us knew of anyone that slept feet right. My thought is that when driving (in the US) everyone approaches their vehicle on the same side. Maybe subconsciously we are kind of doing the same thing with the hammock. Doing it the opposite way is weird to me, I've tried.

    Any thoughts? Do you sleep feet left or feet right?

    Whichever way works for the current setup. I do spend a lot more time sleeping feet left but that's because of how my nightly hammock is hung.

    WB is defaulted to feet right. And I have now trained my body to that direction. When I am ina symmetric hammock and go feet left for whatever reason (generally view or sun in my face) I struggle with fabric in my face. When I go feet right I just slip in to place.

    I think it is all what you are used to.

    FWIW, lived in Ireland for a bit and one gets used to driving on the other side as well.

    Feet right and feel like I'm going to fall out of the hammock if I switch directions.

    Feet right for me, until morning when I'm trying to talk myself into getting up, then I settle into a nice feet left for a few snooze cycles.

    Head right— I sleep on the right side of my bed at home, so having my head next to the edge feels right on that side.
