I don't have any personal experience, as my hair wasn't long then, but I had a GF with butt-length hair who mostly slept in a hammock. She preferred it to a bed because it didn't hurt her back (back injuries from getting thrown from a horse, car accident). And she was used to it, she lived in Brazil part of the year and I guess everybody uses hammocks there. You probably won't be tossing too much (lying on your side or stomach isn't comfortable). She never had any problem with it, she used a small pillow and slept with her hair loose. sometimes it would hang over the side, sometimes not. If she'd been wearing hair sticks, she'd take them out and jam them through the edge weave (her hammocks were cotton, not nylon). If you don't live somewhere hot, you will need some padding between you and the hammock to stay warm. Cotton breathes better than nylon, and doesn't feel as hard.
