I prefer by far sleeping on the ground than in a hammock, I do that in summer (just a yoga mat, or it can be nothing for a short nap, and a t-shirt as pillow), it's fresher, it keeps my spine straight

I think the benefit of hammock is above all to avoid all kind of dangers on the ground

Hammocks are great if you're sleeping on a ship and don't have something gyroscopically stabilized. They change the big and unpredictable swings caused by waves into more predictable swings like a pendulum.
