How does one legitimately sleep in a hammock? Ain't it about as bad as lying on back and both sides at the same time, but also with fear of falling out or hammock itself falling down?

A properly built hammock is sturdy enough that it isn't gonna fall down, and because the middle of it dips down with your weight, the sides come up sort of like a bowl and hold you in. Sleeping on your back isn't actually that bad, and once you get used to it, you figure out how to spin slightly to one side or the other for comfort.

For reference, I was sleeping in a travel hammock meant for camping every night for about a year, I weighed over 200 lbs at the time, and even after the canvas started to tear at the seam, it never actually failed. The only reason I got rid of it is because the tear started to grow over the course of about a week.

Edit: also, for safety, I had a couple old comforters under it to cushion a potential fall, and an old pillow underneath my head for more protection. Never ended up actually needing them, but it's an option

That's a smart safety solution!

Gotcha, thank you
