• wherein said hammock has a second coupling being disposed on a second end of said hammock;
• wherein said second coupling is releasably matable to itself to define a closed loop associated with said second coupling which is disposed on said second end of said hammock;
• wherein said rocking unit comprises a housing having a front wall and a back wall and a top wall and a bottom wall and a sidelong wall extending between said front wall and said back wall such that said housing has a rectangular shape;
• wherein said front wall has a hole extending into an interior of said housing;
• wherein said hole is centrally located on said front wall;
• and
• wherein said housing has speed indicia being applied to said sidelong wall of said housing.

• an anchor strap being releasably matable to itself such that said anchor strap defines a closed loop associated with said anchor strap;
• a rocking unit having a primary loop being coupled to said rocking unit and a secondary loop being pivotally attached to said rocking unit, said secondary loop being alternatively pivoted between a first direction and a second direction when said rocking unit is turned on, said anchor strap being extendable through said primary loop thereby enabling said anchor strap to be extended around a second vertical support and be subsequently releasably mated to itself to suspend said rocking unit from said second vertical support, said hammock being attachable to said secondary loop thereby enabling said hammock to be extended between said first vertical support and said second vertical support wherein said hammock is configured to orient the user in a preferred orientation when the user is in the recumbent position in said hammock, said secondary loop rocking said hammock back and forth when said rocking unit is turned on wherein said rocking unit is configured to enable the user to enjoy the sensation of being gently rocked back and forth when the user is in the recumbent position in said hammock, said rocking unit comprising:
• a housing having a front wall and a back wall and a top wall and a bottom wall and a sidelong wall extending between said front wall and said back wall such that said housing has a rectangular shape, said front wall having a hole extending into an interior of said housing, said hole being centrally located on said front wall, said housing having speed indicia being applied to said sidelong wall of said housing, said speed indicia comprising numbers including “1” and “2” and “3” and “4”, said numbers being spaced apart from each other and being arranged to define a circle, said housing having a battery compartment being located in said interior of said housing, said bottom wall having a battery opening extending into said battery compartment, said housing including a battery cover which is removably attachable to said bottom wall such that said battery cover closes said battery opening;
• said primary loop having a first end and a second end and a pair of bends each being spaced from a respective one of said first end and said second end of said primary loop to define a central portion of said primary loop being perpendicular to and extending between a pair of end portions of said primary loop, each of said pair of end portions being associated with a respective one of said first end and said second end of said primary loop, each of said first end and said second end of said primary loop being attached to said back wall of said housing having said central portion being spaced from and being oriented parallel to said back wall, said anchor strap being extendable between said central portion and said back wall of said housing when said anchor strap is extended around said second vertical support and is subsequently releasably mated to itself for attaching said housing to said second vertical support;
• said secondary loop comprising a pair of sidelong members each extending between and being perpendicular to a front member and a back member such that said front member is oriented parallel to said back member, said secondary loop including a shaft being coupled to and extending away from a rear surface of said back member, said shaft extending through said hole in said front wall of said housing having said shaft being rotatable in said hole, said second coupling on said hammock being extendable between said front member and said back member before said second coupling is releasably mated to itself such that said second coupling defines said closed loop which is attached to said secondary loop when said second coupling is subsequently releasably mated to itself thereby enabling said hammock to extend between said secondary loop and said first vertical support;
• a motor being positioned within said housing, a distal end of said shaft being coupled to an output of said motor, said motor alternatively rotating in a first direction and a second direction when said motor is turned on thereby enabling said secondary loop to be alternatively pivoted between said first direction and said second direction;
• a speed control being positioned within said housing, said speed control being electrically coupled to said motor, said speed control actuating said motor to rotate between a minimum speed and a maximum speed;
• a speed control knob being rotatably disposed on said sidelong wall of said housing, said speed control knob being in operational communication with said speed control, said speed control knob having marker indicia being applied to a distal surface of said speed control knob with respect to said sidelong wall of said housing, said marker indicia comprising an arrow pointing toward an outside surface of said speed control knob, said arrow being pointable toward respective ones of said numbers of said speed indicia on said sidelong wall of said housing, said motor being actuated to rotate in a minimum speed when said arrow is pointed toward said number “1”, said motor being actuated to rotate in a first medium speed when said arrow is pointed toward said number “2”, said motor being actuated to rotate in a second medium speed when said arrow is pointed toward said number “3”, said motor being actuated to rotate in a maximum speed when said arrow is pointed toward said number “4”;
• and
• a power supply being integrated into said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said speed control, said power supply comprising:
