Experts at the University of Geneva suggest that the swaying state of the hammock acts on the senses, helping to synchronize brain activity into a sleep-related activity. This finding also helps to clarify why mothers have been tempting children to sleep on cradles or hammocks.

Previously, 12 volunteers were asked to split into 2 groups, a nap in a hammock and a bed in bed. During a 45-minute sleep, their brain activity is monitored and recorded.

The team found that when lying in a swinging hammock, the deep sleep phase of volunteers - often half the length of sleep - was increased. According to experts, this finding helps scientists study how to improve the quality of sleep at night as well as find ways to treat sleep-related diseases such as insomnia.
