ONE sound snoozer has sworn by her hammock sleeping habits.
It might not be a conventional bed, but she said she is getting the best sleep of her life.
"I sleep in a hammock full time. I don't own a bed and this is what it's like," said Stephanie (@manicpixiesteph).
She admitted that there was a downside to her unusual sleeping accommodations.
"Obviously no one can sleep over," she said.
Still, she wasn't going to let that deter her from hibernating in her hammock.
For Stephanie, it wasn't much of an issue anyway because she explained that not only was she single, but she mostly preferred sleeping alone.
One fellow hammock lover joking gave his own negative assessment: "My only con to hammocks is the difficultly to get up in the morning so comfy!"
"My room is ten by ten so I didn't really have room for a bed," she explained of her initial reasoning for purchasing the hammock.
The fact that bed frames and mattresses are on the pricey side only made her decision that much easier.

Not only was her hammock and stand $100 total, but she was also getting the best rest of her life.
"Hammocks mimic the way that you were cradled as a baby, and I personally get much better sleep because of that," she said.
Looking back on her sleeping in a regular bed days, she explained that she would typically awaken multiple times a night.
Now, she hardly stirs at all.
The hammock also had another pro to add to the list: no more back pain.
"My back is super arched naturally, so sleeping in a hammock has really made it so that my back doesn't hurt at all."
"It's actually really healthy for the back and takes the pressure off it. And since we have curved spines we weren't meant to lay flat," one viewer weighed in.
To add to her restful bedtime ritual, she uses pillow pets, wraps herself in a couple of blankets, and sometimes sleeps diagonally.
