5 Awesome Health Benefits of Hammocking
Aside from the obvious reasons to love hammocks, there are also a few awesome health benefits you may not have thought about. Check them out…
- You may sleep better – So in 2011 a really awesome study was conducted in Switzerland. What they basically found was that people sleep better while swaying! (better as in deeper). They had 12 participants who slept in a regular bed and then in a swaying bed that mimicked the movement of a hammock. Michel Muhlethaler of the University of Geneva said this about the study “We observed a faster transition to sleep in each and every subject in the swinging condition, a result that supports the intuitive notion of facilitation of sleep associated with this procedure.” So if you are having trouble sleeping, try a hammock! Even better, try a Hobo Hammock.
