hammocking
Suspended cloth resting
Hammocking is the leisure activity of relaxing or sleeping in a hammock, typically outdoors.
It suggests a deliberate embrace of idle time: We spent the afternoon hammocking by the lake.
The word captures both the physical act and the laid-back mindset that goes with it.
