The "proper" way to sleep in a hammock is DIAGONALLY!  Your body then 
stretches it out and there's is no curve as if you were to sleep longwise.  I 
grew up in Venezuela and that's the traditional way.

I bought the Hennessy Hammock last year and have yet to use it as it's a 
no-no in state parks - even though I spent an extra $10 for the "tree 
huggers" (they are now standard, I believe.

I wish there was a way to use it as a tent. I wanted to be able to 
incorporate tent poles but haven't found a way.  If someone has, please 
advise.

If you go to www.hennessyhammocks.com someone used their trecking poles as 
"trees" and got it to be self-supporting - also used as a chair.
