Comment on Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms

It’s a common misconception! You’re supposed to lay at an angle and you end up with just a slight bend.

Could you explain what you mean by laying at an angle?

Yeah, you lay on your back at roughly 45 degrees off the main axis of the hammock. Throw in a pillow and a blanket and you’ve got a pretty good setup. It took me a couple weeks to train myself to sleep on my back without rolling around but after that I got used to it. I still have a camping hammock that I use on occasion but for whatever reason I usually end up sleeping on my stomach.
