    Subterranean hang

    Been hanging in my basement for the last week . . .

    . . . some kinda nice sleeping through the night and not waking, not even once.

    I am waking with the slight . . . coulda been snoring . . .

    . . . OK was snoring, with a bit of throat soreness.

    In my Lazy-Boy chair I don't get the throat thing but wake an hour to early.

    Kinda like the hammock . . .

    Bunker living

    Been hanging in a bunker for 9 days. Usually have to sleep pretty fast, so it helps to be off the ground and nice and warm.

    That second photo looks really cool. I'm betting you're the recipient of some envious looks.

    Ha, if I'm flat on my back I get awoken by that same loud burst of noise. Try a slight side sleeping.

    That throat soreness thing is kind of tough; especially in a dry climate or indoors - like a bedroom hang with dry furnace heat. Might see if you can have a small water source to sip from during those wake-up times. I've also tried a balaclava fit so the opening elastic goes under my chin so hold my mouth shut. But in the morning, because it is slight, if at all, and there are more pressing concerns - like breakfast - I forget to note if the throat thing is any better.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    Having a sore throat is actually uncomfortable. I can hardly sleep when I have sore throat that's why I have water on the side to keep my throat moist and some lozenges to soothe it.
