I find that encouraging. My motive is to develop some sort of sleeping device/system that I can adapt to and take with me. Right now, if I go on the road (thankfully rare....) or vacation (unfortunately rare...), or to my daughter's place at the shore the first few days are lost - I'm just sort of stumbling around in that daze that someone who needs 8 hours of sleep gets into after only getting 2 hours. Succeeding days are better, but I still need about 10 hours in the rack to get 7 hours sleep.... I think I'll try the Voyageur tall person's hammock first - just because somebody intentionally designed it for tall people... If it doesn't work out, you may find me begging for something from Brazil.
